\"Allowing<\/a>
Allowing pilots, co-pilots and cockpit crew to text, use cell phones and IM would be akin to serving them alcohol, notes air safety lawyer Doug Landau, as the effects of “distracted driving” are similar to intoxication when it comes to reflexes and reaction times!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After a pilot’s texting was found to contribute to a fatal helicopter crash in 2011, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) issued a recommendation to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that it prohibit crew members aboard commuter and on-demand service flights from using portable electronic devices for non-operational uses while the aircraft are operating.\u00a0 The NTSB also recommended that the FAA require flight operators to review their general operations manuals and pilot training materials to ensure that they adequately address the hazard.\u00a0 Read the full NTSB report here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Experienced aircraft crash attorney Doug Landau believes this to be an important step toward improving air travel safety.\u00a0 “It is an undisputed fact that texting while operating a motor vehicle is dangerous.\u00a0 The same should hold true for operators of aircraft.\u00a0 Distracted flying can lead to catastrophic consequences.\u00a0 The pilots and crew of an aircraft have a duty to protect the souls on board their flight by being entirely focused on the critical jobs of safely prepping, flying, operating, and landing the craft,” says Doug.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
