Well, that is a special case since the cockpit has to be sterile as pointed out in the article in which case NOTHING is allowed [EDIT (For clarify)] that is not to do with flight operations

iPads and iPhones are specifically allowed by certain regs... "Nothing" is not the case here.

I originally wrote "nothing that is not to do with flight operations" but shortened it thinking that was implied.

i.e. A pilot that is not Pilot in Command in sterile cockpit cannot violate the sterility just because he doesn't have his hands on the controls.

If the iPad / iPhone is already in the cockpit how is sterility broken? TY for working through this with me :).

Edit: using an approved device in an unforseen way != using an unapproved device.

Edit 2: This was reposted / moved to a proper reply.
