Mobiltelefon i cockpit - bad news!

Close call after Jetstar pilot distracted by phone
A Jetstar flight from Darwin landing in Singapore narrowly avoided disaster after the captain became distracted by his mobile phone, an investigation has found.
In a moment of confusion and miscommunication the pilots forgot to put down the landing gear and had to abort the landing less than 150 metres from the tarmac, The Age reported.
An Australian Transport Safety Bureau report on the May 27, 2010, incident found the pilots had lost their "situation awareness" and failed to do a landing checklist.
Investigators found the captain's mobile phone, which he had forgotten to turn off, began beeping with incoming text messages after the auto-pilot had been deactivated.
