    You forgot "to force people to pay attention to the safety briefing"

    lol the iPads are not for games, but charts. You would probably not need the charts during take off, but during landing for where to land. The flight instructor here takes her iPad on flights all the time with no issues at all.

    I hope I can use my iPad to read below 10,000 feet. I totally get that I shouldn't be listening to music when landing or taking off in case of an emergency. So many rules and not enough common sense.

    would not the jarring of the aircraft, the screaming of passengers, and the oxygen masks dropping not alert you to danger?
