A new study revealed that up to 87% of flights are delayed due to the Windows blue screen of death. The study surveyed 2,000 pilots and examined their pre-flight habits. Although the results weren’t conclusive, the blue screen error may be due to the pilots’ tendency to play Jazz Punk before takeoff. In fact, pilots frequently use iPads, or other tablets, to consult their manual should anything go awry during flight, as well as for playing the occasional game of Candy Crush. Historically, airlines used heavy books as reference manuals, which lead to a higher fuel cost and the inability to play games. With tablets weighing in at roughly 1 lb, airlines have already seen a savings in fuel expense.

Additionally, these tablets are also being evaluated for navigation. The FAA is commissioning a study to determine which tablet will navigate most effectively. This could lead to replacing the entire cockpit for savings and increased efficiency. Using tablets for navigation has already been tested by the military. For quite some time, they have been using tablets to fly drones from any location in the world. If commercial airlines adopt this technology, this would allow pilots to play Angry Birds and fly planes from the comfort of first class or while in the lavatory. No statement has been made regarding what the projected savings will be used for, but don’t count on increased wages for pilots or better passenger accommodations.
