That is what it says
But the average passenger wouldn't know the airline policies. If so informed with written material, most won't read them anyway. The pilot and flight attendants should know-- so asking is the reasonable thing to do. I queried several Airline pilots I know and they were all aware of their Airline policies and stated they can't give permission but could state the Airline policies and do so. AM/FM radios, GPS, FRS, GMRS, cell phones, Ham radios and other devices were included as no no's on their Airlines. Also Flight attendants are alerted to instruct passengers not to use certain portable electronic devices so listed in their airline policies. Yeah I know we are beating this thread to pieces, but maybe some readers will desist in using a $10 Chinese radio that spews RFI all over the aircraft. Yes there is room for technical argument as how dangerous some devices are. But the airlines have made their decisions based on the FAA regs. Case closed -- ID with held to protect the innocent "Dave VanHorn" wrote in message ... (5) Any other portable electronic device that the operator of the aircraft has determined will not cause interference with the navigation or communication system of the aircraft on which it is to be used. (c) In the case of an aircraft operated by a holder of an air carrier operating certificate or an operating certificate, the determination required by paragraph (b)(5) of this section shall be made by that operator of the aircraft on which the particular device is to be used. In the case of other aircraft, the determination may be made by the pilot in command or other operator of the aircraft. So in the case of an airline (air carrier) the airline makes the determination to allow, NOT the pilot. In a private plane, the pilot can decide to allow. |
