Note that there is a difference between using your (cell) phone in
your airplane and using one in an MD-80, as in the case cited in
Congressional testimony. Also there is a difference between the FCC
and the FAA. See the current Air&Space/Smithsonian: "Shut Off That
Phone!" page 56.
Does anyone have a comment on that article? I was astonished to find
that my Sony CD player can be a problem under some circumstances.
