I had a friend doing research on device frequencies and their interactions with a range of aircraft components which she then presented to the FAA and its European equivalents (I don't recall the names) with the specific intention of removing the restriction. It turns out there are a very small number of older devices that will interfere with a handful of components in the aircraft in minor ways. But, and this is going off of 3 year old memory of proofreading her work on it, the conflicting devices are increasingly unheard of in the market. Not sure how much action she got on it, but it was pretty awesome to see someone putting real, professional level effort into it. She's since moved on to a new role, but I hope someone at her old job picked up where she left off.

It was just a small movement so I did change it to manual . We kept an eye on that and I decided to call the purser and ask if she could tell if someone was using some electronic device like a laptop ao cd player. She told me there was a guy with a cd player and requested him to tur it off. Before she told me that, the auto throttle returned to work ok again. Maybe it was not the cd player motor electrical field interfering, and was just coincidence. But...

Pilot-in-training here: It is almost entirely true that a plane will not be brought down by cell phones. There's two main things that a cell phone can do to a plane's systems, both of which are quite rare: 1. Cause slight glitches on the radar, which can be dangerous but typically it goes back to normal within a few seconds. 2. Cause radio interference, which isn't deadly but can be very annoying especially when you're close to a large airport and need to pay attention to everything going on. So while it's not particularly dangerous to use your phone on a plane, it does make it a bit easier for the pilots.

You need to be fully alert and aware of your surroundings during taxi and takeoff. The reason why you need to stow them away during this time is that they can become fatal projectiles if an accident was to occur. Reason why you have to have them on airplane mode during the flight or cannot use things that transmit and receive information is because terrorists almost always radio's to communicate and coordinate during highjacking. They can also use cell-phones as detonators. Though I don't think rules are going to keep terrorists from terrorizing, still good to have rules in place.

Hi Anthony, I worked in the cell phone industry early on in the 80s. The reason we aren't allowed to use cell phones on airplanes actuall comes from the FCC: due to airplane movement and altitude, the cell phone in the plane has the potential to access multiple terrestrial-based cell phone systems. This causes problems with the cellular networks, and affects hand-offs, quality of service, etc. The FAA has helped enforce the FCC's need to keep terrestrial-based cell phone use on the ground - terra firma - by banning use in commercial aircraft.

It can. Planes change radio frequency all the time, taxi clearance, ground, center, tower, etc. Any electronic devices emitting radio waves can interfere with the aircraft's com radios. All airports use difference frequency's for all services, its impossible to say what is allowed on and off at a certain airport, connected to a certain frequency, on a certain plane, with a certain radio. Its just safer to keep them off, so at the end it will cause less confusion in the cockpit. Onboard wifi routers are different, they dont produce radio waves that interfere with any radios at all. Why do they allow you to turn on devices during cruising? During cruising, aircraft barely ever use com radios. Planes use nav waypoints on flight plans programed before the flight that tells the plane's autopilot and flight director where to turn, heading, airspeed, etc. During cruising if there is a emergency, the plane switches to a special emergency frequency that runs from 80hz to 100hz, which wil not be affected by radiowaves.

@BloodygunnerLive
10 жыл бұрын
Brandon Cobb It does not matter what frequency any device is on, there will always be a chance where it some what interferes with avionics frequencys. For example, you are communicating with ATIS at KSFO and after you are cleared for a pushback. You change the aircraft's com frequency to Tower, thats when sometimes you hear static. That is interference from the frequency you just changed from. You wont be hearing any chatter from the ATIS's interference but it will give off static sound, if how ever, you listen, very very closely, you might just be able to hear some chatter. This is the say thing with other wireless devices. It often causes the aircraft's com radios to pick up the frequency even when you are tuned in to a frequency other that that. Also when i mentioned that you can take down a aircraft using a cell, i mean you can. Not in a direct way, its not like it will spin the aircraft into a nose dive and bank the aircraft until it inverts. I mean, it will interfere in a way that distracts the pilots from paying attention to the computer, therefore, possibly causing a fatal accident. Some popular cases are when you are coming in for a approach, and contacting ATC for landing clearance, and when someone uses a device that overlays your ATC com frequency, the pilots here white noise when communicating with tower. This causes misunderstandings and easily cause a problem. A device that is totally off means the radio emmiter on the device will be shut off.

A plane is sometimes effected by it's own control systems, known as cross-contamination. This is where they run two electrical wires and the signals from one wire can give a false signal in the other wire. This is the main reason that they do not normally allow electronic devices to be turned on during take off and landing... Btw, try this out to check a device for interference... Turn on a set of speakers, Place your mobile phone / tablet next to the speaker and cause it to use the wireless / data carrier or send / receive a phone call... The noise in the speaker is electromagnetic interference. This is what scares the living daylights out of the FAA. (I am not American) I think you will find that Mythbusters covered this topic in their tv series, placed a phone on a plane and tried to get interference... On a modern plane they made no errors in the equipment of the plane... But in a old cesna type plane with guages and dials.. Just having a microphone near it made the guages go crazy. It is best to follow the safety guidelines that the airline states, try not to use electronic devices if they ask you not too.

Yeah. This is why, i'm a mechanical engineer, and this recommandation of "switching off" the electronical devicesis just because passengers must be concentrated during takeoff and landing , in case of evacuation .So...scared them, that's enough! But they're right, all passengers have to be focused during taking off and landing. The FAA give us some Directives: Top Things Passengers Should Know about Expanded Use of PEDs on Airplanes:1. Make safety your first priority. 2. Changes to PED policies will not happen immediately and will vary by airline. Check with your airline to see if and when you can use your PED. 3. Current PED policies remain in effect until an airline completes a safety assessment, gets FAA approval, and changes its PED policy. 4. Cell phones may not be used for voice communications. 5. Devices must be used in airplane mode or with the cellular connection disabled. You may use the WiFi connection on your device if the plane has an installed WiFi system and the airline allows its use. You can also continue to use short-range Bluetooth accessories, like wireless keyboards. 6. Properly stow heavier devices under seats or in the overhead bins during takeoff and landing. These items could impede evacuation of an aircraft or may injure you or someone else in the event of turbulence or an accident. 7. During the safety briefing, put down electronic devices, books and newspapers and listen to the crewmember’s instructions .8. It only takes a few minutes to secure items according to the crew’s instructions during takeoff and landing .9. In some instances of low visibility - about one percent of flights - some landing systems may not be proved PED tolerant, so you may be asked to turn off your device. 10. Always follow crew instructions and immediately turn off your device if asked.

They still use ancient modulation (AM) for the 2-way communication, if a harmonic of a CellPhone chip lands on one of their important communication frequencies, it might severely degrade the signal they want to hear. As an amateur radio operator, I have experienced interference from devices as simple as those wall power adaptors where it wiped all of the signals out on a specific frequency band. Also, of course 200 phones is definitely is going to increase the electromagnetic field .... he is basically saying if you shine 200 flashlights at the same time, they won't increase the overall brightness.

WilfredAdventures Wilfred, why do pilots not panic during an emergency? Training! I am a technical rock climber and mountaineer. How do I keep my wits about me when events become life threatening? Training! I also do anesthesiology for a living. How do I keep calm when the "shit hits the fan" with a patient on the operating table? Training! Through education and training one can learn to react in a way that optimizes the chance of survival. While I never underestimate the role that luck plays in survival, the best odds for survival is preparation. Whenever I get on a plane I try to position myself near an exit or I make a mental image of where the exits are so I can find them blind such as when the cabin is filled with smoke. I mentally prepare myself for the unthinkable in every situation I'm in. The idea is to not panic when things go sideways.

Rod Burke but keep in mind that YOU ARE PREPARED for stressful situations, the average person takes about 10 to 20 seconds to react to a life threatening situation. For example when there is a war in a country civilians first reaction is to hide but when spotted panic sinks in. what do you do when you panic? you make mistakes It's like this: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day (which is what they do in the safety demonstration for passengers). Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime (which is what they do for pilot training, teach not to panic).

From a Pilot friend of mine. He says if you are trying to talk on a cell phone while in the air the cell system will dump you. Why? It is because there are too many cell sites trying to poll your signal to figure out when is the next tower to hand you off. So, if you are trying to talk to someone while say at 5,000 you will get a "time out" signal or "denial of service" and your phone will say "No Signal".

As such, I've been flying pretty much my whole life, and have basically grown up around airports and planes. And I am here to tell you, having the phones and other devices on during take-off and landing actually doesn't have a negative effect on the flight. I say negative, because I don't think anybody has ever actually tested whether or not it has a positive effect... But that's not the point. The point is, having electronic devices off during take-off and landing has absolutely no negative effects on the safety of the flight. So there you go.

As a pilot, I can say that some devices definitely DO cause problems. Pagers were the worst (messed up the Traffic Collision Avoidance System), but thankfully very few people carry them anymore. I do know however, that modern cellphones can still cause problems with the transponder that sends the plane's position to ATC as well as the communication radios. How do I know? I've forgotten to turn *my* cellphone off while flying a small plane by myself, and observed problems with my radios which went away when I realized my phone was on and turned it off. You have to consider that a lot of these systems have barely changed since the 1950s, so more modern technology can cause problems. Even on airliners with computers controlling most functions, the radios are still not that much more advanced. The main reason for this is that there are a lot of planes from the 1950s, '60s, and '70s still flying around, and the equipment on new planes still has to be compatible with them, since they're all sharing the same airspace. That said however, I do use a tablet for navigation, but it does not have cellphone service. As far as I know, wifi frequencies don't cause problems, and of course anything that has no transmitter like old style digital cameras and stuff doesn't have any effect, but cellphones are the thing that still causes the most problems.
@ccssdxdx

pilot here. cell phones do transmit waves and they interfere with radio communication (we get the annoying feedback sound on our headset). since communication between the control tower before/after takeoff and moments before/after landing is extremely important (takeoffs and landings are actually the most critical/dangerous phases of flight), pilots generally don't want to be bothered with the annoying feedback sound. and let's say there happens to be an accident, and the cause comes down to pilot error caused by annoying feedback sound on their headset. that's when FAA will ban cellphones on board entirely.

This means everything bigger than a smartphone has to be stored. 2nd most airlines tell you to switch your devices in Flightmode. This does not affect your wifi or bluetooth connections! But the Problem is not Wifi (2.4GHz), but LTE 3G and so on. You konw these noises when having a mobile phone near a microphone or speaker? The Pilots could hear this noise, if you are sitting next to the radio antenna. That is also, why their Ipads (electronic flightbags) do not affect anything!

+Bin Achtzehn Another reason to ask people to put their cell phones in airplane mode or turn them off is that they were designed to be in contact with one cell tower at a time, two or three while moving from one to another. On the ground, or even in a tall building, that's fine. But at cruising altitude, one phone could be "checking in" (they are constantly testing the availability of a connection in case you receive or make a call; that's how the "bars" indicator is updated) with a signal that reaches hundreds of towers. The carrier's network would be swamped with connection checks and would not know which tower to use to respond to you. And in any event, that "best" connection would be constantly changing as you fly a dozen times as fast as a car can move, and in a very wide horizon. The amazing thing about the calls made on 9/11/2001 from Flight 63 (if they were actually made) is that a stable connection to the ground based phone system was even possible.

+Friedpotatoes a I just reviewed it, and he didn't even mention the wide horizon problem, but I know about it from other sources. For example, use of cell phones even in private planes is discouraged at a few thousand feet above ground for the same reason. As a user, you would not get a stable connection because of the high speed cell tower swapping, even assuming the network even responded to you; by the time a few dozen towers compared your signal strength in order to decide which one would handle your call (or your data connection), you would be over a different set of towers. And the OTHER DEVICES in range of those towers would be denied useful reception, since the computers in the towers would never get to most of them because of the time spent trying to connect, and keep connected, your airborne phone which has become effectively a "superphone." A number of people have claimed that, unless the callers on Flight 63 had super special satellite phones, they would not have been able to make the cell phone calls to their relatives, therefore the audio clips of the "phone" calls must have been faked. Not necessarily the attacks themselves, but our government may have decided to "make lemonade" of a bad situation by adding to the obvious result, the self-destruction of the plain headed for the Pentagon, a sidebar human interest story involving passengers saying goodbye to their loved ones on the ground. Cell phone calls from the WTC, of course, are plausible, even though the chance of getting through before dying would be slim because of the overload on the system.

There have been multiple independent studies done on this, which apparently DNews did not consult at all. 1. It's a misconception it's about crashing aircraft. It's much more about causing delays. 2. Most of the Avionics on commercial aircraft, even a brand new one, are used. It's not uncommon to have 2-3 decade old radios and navigation electronics on a new aircraft. These older electronics are highly susceptible to interference. 3. It's true 1 or 2 phone calls aren't going to cause issues; but there's easily 200+ people on a lot of flights. If 20 or 30 people make simultaneous calls (highly likely due to arranging logistics), then there is definitely a problem. 4. Such circumstances have been demonstrated to interfere with navigational and radio equipment in actual flights -- these aren't going to cause the plane to fall out of the sky. But they will easily result in significant delays. TLDR: If you don't mind circling the airport for an hour b/c you couldn't wait 10min to land, go ahead and make all the cell phone calls you want like a jackass.

Nothing about the phone can actually interfere with avionic systems besides chucking it AT the computers. Just being in the air, the plane is hit by the same signals from cell towers, and those are even stronger. Lastly, there are cheaper planes with less robust systems flying at lower altitudes and hit by more signals & those pilots typically keep their phone on as well. If you had watched the end of the video, he explains how pilots keep their electronics on. All in all, it's a bogus rule.

Not all aircraft have shielded data buss cables so until they do it would be prudent to require all electronics equipment to be turned off as a safety precaution. On some aircraft that do have shield data buss cables it is okay to have equipment on, but the question is do you know which aircraft are the ones that are shielded cables? I would rather not play the odds. And those Ipads do power down in the cockpit to a safe mode. Sorry dude just sit back and eat the snacks and leave the safety of the aircraft to the flight crews there is so much you don’t understand about aircraft.

maybe the FAA thinks my xperia has a military grade jammer that is designed to do this, after all that is one of the lesser known features on my phone and the reaction on people's faces as the pilots tell them the bad news that they're being jammed is priceless. gotta love idiocy.

I have a idea,they ask passengers to not power down but to mute and teperaraly turn off their device by ethier closing the cover lid(I pads,Kindles,Nooks) or by putting them in their carry on luggage.

I'm from Finland, and in all the airplanes I've been in (I've flied with Finnair and Skandinavian Airlines) they only asked everyone to put their devices in flight mode. Turning them off wasn't necessary. As far as I'm aware it's the same in all the airlines from the Nordic countries. Not sure how it is in other parts of Europe.

I've seen something that says that phones can produce frequencies that cause slight disturbances in radio communications. Most airlines nowadays allow for cell phone use during the flight, provided it's in "airplane mode", although some airlines allow for passengers to use cell phones with normal functionality, but this may only be for overseas flights.

there are new rules from FAA and the European authority too. you can have your device turned on in ALL stages of the flight, take off, landing, taxiing, etc. you just need to have it in flight mode
