Dozens of planes from American Airlines yesterday delayed due to a fault in an iPad app used by the pilots. It’s the app Flite Deck for viewing flight plans
.
The cockpit of American Airlines since 2013 are entirely paperless. Because the staff no longer have stacks of paper to carry, saving the airline own words more than $ 1.2 million worth of fuel a year.
A spokesman for American Airlines let the BBC know that pilots in some cases had to return to the gate to connect the iPad with Wi-Fi network. This would have solved the problem.
One of the passengers, Serge Gojkovich, CEO of parkeerapp Curb Stand, however late on Twitter that his plane could take off only after the pilot had had to print out the flight plans. The spokesman could not confirm this
American Airlines is currently still looking for the cause of the problem
