Yes...if the aircraft is operating in low visibility conditions (i.e. fog), either for take off or landing, or doing an automatic landing, irrespective of the conditions, then all devices must be totally powered off. The reason is simply that the margins for error in such operations are so fine, that even the tiniest possibility of interference cannot be accepted.
3 X double like!Of course, some of us are just content to follow the instructions of the crew.
Is there ever a time where there is bad enough turbulence for you to be worried/anxious?
I know everything is done to avoid potential turbulence. I don't mind the occasional bump, but when it gets rough in the middle of the night over the Pacific, I get a little uncomfortable. Thanks again.
Not unless I've just spilt my coffee on myself....

Do late Oct rosters include early-mid Nov?
I'm on QF10 and QF1 (only between LHR and DXB) on Nov 8/9.
Would you need to adjust your seat if such ops are called for?There are alignment spots on the coaming to line your eyes up with but they are really for Cat 2 ops and if i use them for normal flying i feel extremely cramped.
A question for Boris s...How many sectors would you fly on a typical day ? Obviously this would depend on destinations but do you always return to the departure point or do you frequently end up in a hotel ?
Yes, the certification of Cat 2 ops (low visibility) requires the pilot's eyes to be within a specified 'box' according to the manufacturer. So in such instances, you align yourself so that you can see the required alignment points when sitting upright. Compared to normal, it feels quite high and a long way forward.
At the top of descent do you ask for a particular FL or are you allocated one by ATC ?
What increments would you request or be given and approx how many times would you talk to ATC regarding different FL's during the descent ?
What are the rules, if any, regarding brown bagging it (bringing your own)? Or is this not a practical option?On short haul i eat because i have to, not to enjoy it... We either wolf our food down in 5 minutes on a turnaround, or wolf it down airborne (and Murphy's Law says that it is served at about Top of Descent when there is no time to eat anyway). I can't say that i ever enjoy eating in the plane.
