Pilot Safety Tip - Distractions
Distractions in the Cockpit Two pilots using laptops and discussing crew scheduling procedures lose situational awareness and overfly their destination airport by 150 miles. A Captain calls for the after landing checklist while completing a difficult double right turn with limited space between runways and misses seeing the hold line, pulling onto the runway in front of a departing wide body aircraft. These real incidents are only two examples of what can happen if you allow yourself to become distracted when operating an aircraft. Distractions in the cockpit are one of the leading causal factors in pilot deviation runway incursions. The runway hold line is a single point on the airport, and if you are not looking for where to hold short and you miss the signs and markings, there is no other visual cue until you reach the edge of the runway. Distractions which have resulted in pilot deviations include:

Fwd: "Changes to Aircraft Wake Turbulence Separation Categories" - FAASafety.gov
FAA Safety Team | Safer Skies Through Education | |
Changes to Aircraft Wake Turbulence Separation Categories Memphis International Airport (MEM) At 0600 CDT (1100Z), on November 1, 2012, MEM will implement a recategorization (RECAT) of wake turbulence separation categories. RECAT places aircraft into six (6) categories (labeled A-F) for both departure and arrival separation. As a result of RECAT, some pilots may see a reduction or an increase in wake turbulence separation distances but most will not notice any changes at all. Air Traffic Control (ATC) controller phraseology will not change. The Automated Terminal Information Service (ATIS) will include a statement that RECAT wake turbulence standards are in effect. Additional information can be found in the FAA Safety Alert For Operators (SAFO) #12007, dated October 18, 2012 A copy of the SAFO can be found by clicking on this link (or by copying and pasting the link in your browser): https://www.faasafety.gov/files/notices/2012/Oct/MEM_SAFO_final_signed_version.pdf This notice is being sent to you because you selected "General Information" in your preferences on FAASafety.gov.
