    Mobile devices do not cause any interference whatsoever with avionics on an aircraft. In fact, it's illegal to manufacture and sell a mobile device that even has he ability to operate on certain frequencies.
    The reason they tell you to stow and turn off your mobile devices for takeoff and landing is because of legal reasons regarding safety and liability. Technically it's the PIC's job to make sure passengers are paying attention to the safety briefing before every flight, and as for takeoff and landing, it's best not to have loose, heavy, metal objects flying around if there's some turbulence.
    Your pilot has a tablet and a smartphone in the cockpit with him, and neither are on airplane mode.

      It's almost laughable how ignorant you are, but it's too sad to laugh at.
      "...is because of legal reasons regarding safety and liability. Technically it's the PIC's job to make sure passengers are paying attention to the safety briefing before every flight, and as for takeoff and landing, it's best not to have loose, heavy, metal objects flying around if there's some turbulence."
      How's that for business politics? A rule in place for a federal aviation regulation, for liability concerns. Notice how we tell you to stow devices and enable "airplane mode" only for takeoff and landing? Notice your pilot using the in flight WiFi to stream music from his phone? Notice the tens and sometimes hundreds of mobile devices performing all sorts of wireless shenanigans during flight?
      Maybe they aren't so concerned with interference after all.

      +Computer being a GA pilot doesn't qualify you as an expert in the field. Get over yourself. This isn't an avionics problem. It is an electronics problem.
      Electromagnetic interference can occur from just about anything. Shielding has helped to reduce this issue in recent years.
      +Pigmoon K the DVD player gives off EMR and that can affect an electronic device. What the DVD player did was interfere with the VOR receiver (they aren't talking GPS here). In RF, the more powerful signal wins. Attenuation by distance between transmitter and receiver is what we are talking about here. The DVD player certainly wasn't producing more power than the VOR transmitter, but it was closer to the receiver, therefore it had a relative power stronger than the transmitter. Which caused the indicator to point in the opposite direction. Since antennas receive every signal regardless of frequency, it is safe to assume that either the DVD player emitted a frequency similar (doesn't have to be the exact frequency to interfere) or the receiver was overwhelmed by the relative power and couldn't differentiate the two different signals.
      I'm not going to assume that the FAA and PIC just want you to pay attention to the safety briefing. That's not an educated assumption. That's a GA pilot who heard something from somebody, who heard that from his friend's cousin's uncle's half-sister-in-law's (twice removed) ex-husband's high school girlfriend. (you get my point)
      An educated assumption is that sometimes shielding and countermeasures don't work. It's an exact science without exact results. Sometimes EMR just doesn't do what you want it to do. So many things can attenuate a signal. So it would be safe to assume that the FAA doesn't want to assume the risk of allowing frequency emitting device usage during flight. It is a "just in case" situation.
      I'm an explosives engineer. I deal with EMR shielding. I also evaluate and improve electronic countermeasures used in improvised explosive device interrogation.
      Oh and a GA pilot with IFR rating. (just in case that is the deciding factor in making this an expert opinion).

      14 CFR 135.117 is not an educated assumption.

      First off, most commercial aircraft, and ESPECIALLY airliners, do not utilize VORs for navigation, in fact the only time the word VOR is mentioned in relation to real world navigation is when you are using it as waypoint on your GPS receiver. Bearing this in mind, to suggest that they ask you to put your device into airplane mode, and then just assume you did it, in order to prevent interference with a VOR is madness.
      If you would just apply some critical thinking to this you would be able to avoid looking like a fool, too late for that though. If you'd refer to my previous comment I wouldn't have to repeat myself; If in fact they have this 'rule' to prevent interference with the VOR receiver they don't use or probably don't even have installed, then why would they only ask you to use airplane mode for takeoff and landing? Those are the only two phases of flight where you WOULDN'T be using your VOR receiver. Your entire comment is just one big joke.

    That DVD player was never proven to have done that. In fact, it was nothing more than a scapegoat for the plane heading in the wrong direction. It was likely caused by a careless programming error and no one caught it. They then blamed it on a DVD player to keep their jobs.
    Hi, I'm an electronics tech. I'm one of those experts on this matter. I have worked on Aviation Electronics equipment dating from the early 1940s all the way to the early 2000s. I have degrees in Aviation Electronics, Biomedical Electronics, and Electronics Technology. A portable DVD player can no more affect any of the systems on any plane that has ever existed than I can affect the direction of a plane with the power of my mind. It simply cannot happen. Walk into any Avionics shop where they test and calibrate Avionics and you'll see it filled with way larger machines than a DVD player and none of them are telling a plane to go in another direction (unless they are specifically designed to do so).
    It am really disappointed in you for not doing your homework on this. Shame! Believing that a DVD player can affect a plane? Shame on you, Linus! I've calibrated navigation and communication Avionics from periods spanning 6 decades and have done so while using my cell phone and never once have they ever had any effect on what I was doing.

    While I think it's extremely unlikely a phone could ever interfere with navigation equipment (unless held right next to an older instrument)-- cell phones (especially when receiving calls) will often introduce light interference/feedback in our headsets (sounds like stuttering over the hum of 400z 3-phase AC). I've heard this numerous times when in the cockpit, typically if I or the other pilot forget to switch to airplane mode; it has also occurred as a result of passengers leaving their phones on (I'm guessing the headset wire that plugs into the wall acts as a conductor in the presence of the phone's RF) However, it's rare that it happens and doesn't really do anything other than present a minor annoyance.
    The biggest reason to go to airplane mode is to prevent your battery from eating itself as it searches for a signal above 3000'.
    I think most of us agree though, thank God people aren't allowed to talk on their phones at altitude.

      The FAA is typically very conservative and very slow to change when it comes to rule implementation. Many regulations may appear anachronistic today and were founded to address issues that are no longer a concern; however, barring sufficient interest in and evidence supporting the regulation's removal, they remain.
      Considering the rapid proliferation of variable power cell phones within the public and the myriad of frequency bands that would saturate disparate aircraft designs, restricting their use was reasonable. Whether or not it's still necessary-if it ever was-it's a minor inconvenience considering the potential risks.
      Numerous aircraft types and vintages may comprise an individual airline's fleet, and fleet size and composition vary considerably across the nation's airlines, all of whom are subject to FAA regulation. Aircraft designed in the '70s and '80s routinely fly people across the country, employing navigation and communication equipment potentially more at risk to electromagnetic interference.
      Newer jets come equipped with LCDs, solid-state chips, and a modern electrical system, while older aircraft sport round-dials and CRTs, vacuum tubes, and lots of coiled copper.
      In a few of the planes I've flown, the automatic direction finder (ADF)-an instrument with a needle that gives your relative bearing to a radio station (NDB)-would spin in circles if you held a cell phone right next to it. While this is a clear example of interference that could certainly compromise flight safety, NDB navigation isn't used anymore in the US. However, it may still be used abroad, depending on the country and plane.
      As I said, the biggest issue is that your phone eats through the battery when you leave it on.
      Personally, I'm far more concerned with the rollout of 5G and the deleterious effects on the airlines, pilots, and the flying public. The duty and prudence of the FAA and the FCC ultimately fell apart when it comes to how they handled the implementation of 5G service and its presence near major airports. At first, I thought this was a demonstration of governmental incompetence, but now I'm suspicious that they knew what they were doing. Corruption and greed… Apparently, aviation safety matters to them until it doesn't.

    I saw something a while ago (I can't remember where from) that said another reason to use airplane mode is because of the antenna hopping that happens when going as fast as a plane and at its altitude. Apparently the combination of the two caused phones to hop between cell antennas and cause a ton of unnecessary traffic jams, as the requests made by the phone weren't completed, as the phone was no longer in range or connected to the tower it made the request to.

    Lynas, the origin of the 'no-cellphone-while-flying' rule has little to do with the avionics, which have always been well shielded against spurious radiation. The cell network, by its very nature depends on a user being able to access very few towers - the topology of the land saw to this. Radio range in the UHF bands has a lot more to do with line-of-site then power - remember your long-range wifi video. Mobile phones, especially older ones, produced a lot of power and, once airborne, could access potentially dozens of towers in metropolitan areas at the same time, tying up one particular channel over a potentially large area. Modern phones use lower power and spread-spectrum technology to mitigate these issues, hence the relaxation of the rules in Europe..

There are many more people on the ground than in the sky and so you favor to the masses. Now if you were to say yes it is fine to use it in flight, people would then see a no signal and be mad, thus demanding one from their carriers during flight so that they didn't have to pay for the in-flight WiFi. Thus begins the cycle and a huge money pit for carriers to have to build towers to direct the signal up into wasted space so that the occasional plane flying over can get cellular signal for an hour or two until it is out of the tower's range.

I guess it was similar to the noise you hear from your computer speakers when you receive a text message on an og tracphone sitting nearby.

    The hand-off of cellular handsets traveling across cellular node coverage areas takes a bit of network resources on cellular providers hardware.
    Every so often you may notice the cell network being over crowded and become temporarily unavailable, like at a concert or huge event (4th of July in the city, etc).
    For rural areas where cellular infrastructures are not built to accommodate so many users, a large low altitude plane full of cell phones traveling the entire distance of the country could effect these rural communities by jamming a network and interfering with potential 911 requests.

    I live in Austria, and when I flew from Romania (Bucharest) to Austria (Vienna), we were allowed to use our phones BUT ALLWAYS ENABLE AIRPLANE MODE. In the mid of the flight, people were using their mobile phones, with Bluetooth headphones and stuff like this. A stuardize came to us and told us to SHUT DOWN ALL ELECTRONIC DEVICES because the autopilot wasn't working properly. Yeah, we tuned of all devices and we landed properly.

    In these days, electronics on smartphones do not intervene in the software/data from airplanes.
    they dont allow it, because people will eventually demand wifi on the plane. That will make the cost to much for the companies.

    • @dollgen
      @dollgen 7 лет назад

      If they add Wifi they can raise the ticket price accordingly and if they don't they can keep the prices the same. I don't know what you're saying about too expensive.
