Not sure if this has been discussed,, performed a quick search of the archives and came up empty.
But, something to think about (as if we don't have enough!),,
For all of us that carry & use PEDs (Personal Electronic Devices) in our cockpits (iPhones, iPads, etc),
Although rare, I would hate to experience a situation where I have a run-away PED battery fire,, inflight. I'm not sure a fire extinguisher would work in this situation, what is needed is some sort of containment bag.
I have seen these "advertised" and/or discussed on other Airline-related safety forums, and even a search on Amazon comes up with a couple of interesting options. (Although one that appears is very expensive ($664),,)
There are cheaper, smaller options on Amazon, but those are advertised as LIPO battery charging/storage bags, and since I am not scientist,, I'm not sure if they are what would be needed in the event of an actual iPhone/iPad overheat situation.
What would be cool, is a cheap, lightweight bag that you could stuff just about anywhere, but in easy reach if you happen to notice a smoking PED. In my case (RV-4), I would keep one up front, and one in the back for the rear seat.
Any ideas??
