I have often wondered how severe that problem is. As it is, banning use of
electronic equipment during take off & landing is still a good idea, as
those are the most critical parts of the flight.

| ... I should have said that the real danger is mostly phones and tablets which
use cellular networks. WiFi and bluetooth are very much less of a problem, and
other devices with no intended RF emissions even less so. The uncommanded
manoeuvers which happened on certain aircraft were caused by phones, every
time. However, when radio navigation aids are in use, there is some risk of
low level emissions from most types of electronics corrupting the received
signal, and the same for voice communications too. Fortunately increasing CPU
performance puts the clock frequency typically well above the aircraft
navigation and voice communication bands, but I wonder when GPS, which most
airlines use now, will begin to be affected. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
