Damian,

They have probably just forgotten they should have turned it off!

When you do it all the time, it is reasonably easy to forget

Some flight crew are now issued iPads for use in the cockpit during takeoff and landing. It would be pretty easy to forget that you can't use it at the same time in the cabin.

And before anyone says that proves iPads are safe for use, they should remember that they have gone through the appropriate tests in the cockpit area, and if any erroneous indications occur the flight crew have quick access to be able to turn them off immediately.

I know it's approriate to be risk averse but, frankly, there's more risk of electro-magnetic interference from solar flares than there is from anyone's laptop, phone or tablet.

It will be very interesting to see the outcome of NTSB testing on this issue.

I use my IPAD during the cruise with the GPS reciever on and can track the flights progress good fun for those aircraft that dont have a moving map. And nobody ever asks anything but then again its only ever during the cruise and im usually up the pointy end.
