Handheld PC on a plane is the reason that the plane arrived an hour late

We’ve just heard thattwo pilots of a U.S. passenger aircraft were crucially at the time when they probably should have been landing the plane busy playing with their laptops and therefore flew over 240 kilometers over their destination airport. This emerges from a communication from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NTSB, which had started after the startling incident investigations.

As you would expect, previous studies and data that we have collected suggest the pilots point out that both 53 and 54 year old men checked in on their Acer laptop roster procedures and were distracted by them so much that they missed their goal for over an hour did not respond to radio messages .

The Airbus A 320 of the North West Company with 144 passengers and 5 crew members on board was launched last Wednesday evening in San Diego (California) and is expected to arrive in Minneapolis (Minnesota). This he did – but only after the unplanned detour, and with more than an hour late.

The plane was already on Minnesota's neighboring state of Wisconsin, as a flight attendant, the pilot was aware of her mistake and turned back the plane. The long silence in the cockpit had triggered concerns that the machine could have been abducted: Sun warplanes were up in Wisconsin USA.

The investigations are ongoing, and the two pilots are currently suspended from duty. But they will probably lose their jobs, such as Delta Airlines, the “mother” of Northwest, is now made clear. In a statement said that the use of laptops or from activities linked to anything in the operation of the aircraft was strictly forbidden during the flight, “and violations lead to dismissal.” which is a shame
