Texting and Flying?

Texting while flying? In this video, it tells about the new rules in aviation. There have been some trouble with personal devices being used by pilots in the cockpit of the planes they fly. This is no different than Iowa’s law of no texting while driving. Using any sort of technological device while operating a vehicle is without a doubt, very irresponsible and unsafe. I would say that it is even more dangerous for a pilot to be operating a plane and using some sort of a personal devices than if it were like a teenager driving down the road and texting because the pilot does have either precious cargo or even passengers within the planes with them. Every pilot should be fully aware of what they are doing as they operate their plane. If they don’t problems are more likely to occur. The FAA does not ban all technology while in the cockpit though. Tablets, phones, and also laptops are not allows for personal use while operating a plane. Although, the FAA does allow the use of tablets and laptops while flying a plane only if the pilot is using the devices for work related use only. There is one thing that I am not so sure of though. I mean the pilot will know that they are not suppose to be using their tablet or laptop for personal use while they are flying their plane but how will the FAA be able to enforce that while the pilot in the cockpit is in the air? I think of this just as it is with texting and driving. I just don’t see how the law enforcement will be able to pursue people that don’t follow this rule of not using technology while operating a moving vehicle. I just don’t know. I guess pilots will only have to realize their job is at stake and they should be responsible enough and respectful of every life on board as they operate their plane.
