What do I care? Read-and-parse. English 1. I said to use the FMC (ok. in a plane that has one, *obviously*) to guide under VFR (hell, guide it under IFR for all I care, unless you are worried about a simulated FSDO appearing on your doorstep) for a long flight (. Imagine the distractor is a stewardess and you want to join the simulated mile high club (hmmmmm...interesting fantasy in there somewhere...). (obvious ad hominem) However, in your case you don't even need to use the FMC or have a long flight; you'd be finished with any distraction before tower handed you off to departure after takeoff. It is never acceptable to divert one's attention from the flying task. There must always be a human being watching the aircraft, if the aircraft is designed for human pilots. I never said anything about distractions while flying. I was implying that a [significant other/boyfriend/girlfriend/hell-it-could-be-a-goat- for-all-I-know] is going to get ****ed off at you if you choose a computer over the distraction; *regardless* of what you are doing on the computer at the time of the distraction. The computer will not become ****ed off. Therefore the choice is easy. |

So hit the Pause button. Problem solved. I never said anything about distractions while flying.

The computer will not become ****ed off. Therefore the choice is easy. Wow. I am speechless. You would rather have a human thing ****ed off at you for failing to give him/her attention than give up your "flight time". Amazing. |

... It is never acceptable to divert one's attention from the flying task. This statement demonstrates a complete lack of real flying knowledge. |
