Is English your first language?

No, of course not!

And one more thing, Emily, no offence, but can you think a little bit and
realize that English is not always language in atc communication, maybe in
some european/other countries on domestic flights and general aviation,
before you guess I don't fly!

First, there's a HUGE different in not speaking English fluently and
using IM speak.

Second, I believe I asked if your first language was English. And as
someone who deals with commercial aviation people from OUTSIDE the
United States most of the time, I can still say that YES, English is the
international language of aviation. In fact, I deal with with
maintenance type people on six continents, and I've never run into one
person who doesn't speak English when dealing with other people in the
industry.

Then the grammar issues are excused. The IM speak is not.

Ok, I agree with that, first post I wrote quckly and untill now I didn't
know what "IM speak" phrase means and didn't know that's
big problem because I see that often on USA and UK forums, so I
unintentionally start to use something like that (you=u, ....).

Now you are starting to come around, with admitting that English is not your
first language, and by typing in "real" English. You will find a much
better reception to your posts, now. You should have started that way, and
things would have been much easier for you.

Welcome, and good luck with your questions here.

You can see from first posts that English is not my native language, I never
sad that it is!

Ok, I didn't know that's problem, but you started conversation in agressive
way!

Thanks Morgans on your truly welcome

Hey gang,
It probably wont work in the air of course that being said mine
started ringing at 11,000 ft yesterday above nashville in the t210. I
was amazed of course we were moving so fast that we lost that tower in
seconds but if you have a helicopter it might work. Cell towers all
point down because thats were the people with the electric leashes are!
Sportys does have that adapter but you can probably get the same from
radio shack for nothin. This all being said I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DO
NOT USE YOUR PHONE IN THE AIR!!!!! Not because it is gonna screw with
nav radios or anything but because you will be not concentrating on
what you need to be concentrating on and that is flying the air plane.
Please do not turn into the idiot in his car that is screwing up
traffic because he is on the phone driving. "hang up and drive now
applies to hang up and fly!!!!"



I need it for important calls just in case and for passengers, dont worry!



According to a Lightspeed note, it says the "FCC only allows the use
of a cell phone within the cockpit when the plane is on the ground".

It is irrelavant what Lightspeed says.

This pertains to USA / FCC regulations only:

Under FCC Part 22 regulations, which describes "cellular" phones in the
850-900 Mhz band, using a Part 22 "cellular" phone while airborne is legally
prohibited.

PCS phones (e.g. T-Mobile) operate under other frequencies (e.g. 1900 Mhz band)
and are regulated under FCC Part 24. Part 24 has no prohibition against using
PCS services while airborne. I don't believe what type of phone system
(GSM/TDMA or CDMA) matters a bit. The regulation was originally made to
prohibit AMPS (analog) service, and AMPS is under Part 22 only. Some CDMA and
GSM services operate on "cellular" frequencies, and under a strict
interpretation airborne use would be prohibited. However if your telephone is
operating under the 1900 Mhz band (which only has digital PCS services,
including CDMA and GSM).

In practice, I've used a PCS phone successfully up to about 4,000 ft when it
doesn't work well. However outside of some areas, good reception is usually
concentrated near Interstates etc, which your route of flight may not follow.

Some passengers/crew on the 9/11/01 flights hijacked by terrorists were
apparently able to use their mobile phones, although I'm not sure at what
altitude they were able to do this. Other calls were made via the aircraft's
pay phones.

In the US, at least.
