I have been getting slack about texting and flying From the Med crew. But the autopilot is on. It's just a third screen just like the ones on the dashboard. It's 2023 and I only do it in high cruise. At least above 1000 agl.

older pilots shouldn't text at all in the cockpit.

How good is your autopilot at avoiding birds? Asking for a friend.

The AP allows you to fly-through, Sparks; try it sometime. It works.

The phone may be a third screen but it's not associated with the operation of the aircraft. Foreflight ect. keep you involved in what's happening with the flight, keeps your head in the game, not so much so when you're texting your girlfriend.

Trolling but I'll bite.  Dont do it, but if you do it only with the crew in the back, never with one of them up front.

stop signs or cars in the air. Can't see why it's a big deal.

Contrary to you, I don't let medical crew make my decisions for me. Above 1000 feet there's no birds anyway.
