Why can't CD/MP3 players be used while flying?

Don't expect Mixi to understand the nature our fourier analysis of non-linear currents. However, I would imagine an MP-3 player wouldn't radiate much more than a digital watch. At least not today's teeny little MP3 players. -- ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |

Why can't CD/MP3 players be used while flying?
I cannot tell you the number of times I have had my Ipod on while
taking off or landing. I have even texted message on approach and take off so many times I couldn't even guess how many times I have done this. Guess what, everyone lived. Amazing. The rule is in place for 2 reasons, all items need to be stowed so nothing goes flyin around the cabin if they slam on the brakes and the other reason is to make sure you are listening when they are speaking. No FAA rule/law and it's airline specific. I was even making a call on approach to DFW, say 5000 ft up and the flight attendant was like put that away so everyone else doesn't get the same idea, wink wink.

Ummm...OK, just what do you think the difference is between "radiated RF energy" and "a radio signal." Unless by "radio signal" you are thinking of a strictly intentional transmission. Bob M. |

Why can't CD/MP3 players be used while flying?
wrote in message ... Hey all I just across the following on the internet. I can not being to use all of the items on the list except CD/MP3 player. Anyone out there know why CD/MP3 Players can not be used? "Current regulations prohibit the use of certain portable electronic devices on board commercial aircraft because of the potential for interference with on-board navigation and communication systems. These include: Cellular telephones AM/FM radios Remote-controlled devices TVs CB CD/MP3 players Devices capable of transmitting any radio frequencies' Just wondering, as I was hoping to take my iPod along with me to Hawaii, so that I would something to occupy my time on flight with. Thanks Michael I'm not aware of any U.S. or Asian airline that prohibits MP3s or CD players in flight. I was on one European carrier (I don't recall which at the moment) that did not allow CD players. It is certainly not a U.S. regulation. Check with your carrier if you're uncertain (though, if it's a U.S. carrier, you can use your iPod once you're above 10,000 feet, or 10 minutes into the flight if you're on UA). |
