Also the rule is stupid as it is not enforceable. Once, when they told everyone to turn off their devices, I was asked to remove my headset. Of course I asked why and I was told so they know my device is off. Really? I hope they know the On/Off switch is not whether the headset is in our out of my ears. My phone was still on, and remained so during the entire flight.
With hundreds of different mobile electronic devices available (mostly Samsung Galaxy models), it was better to err on the side of caution rather than reaction and wait for studies to be completed. Hopefully the cell phone use ban will stay in place. I don't want to sit near people talking all flight.
I'm sorry, how long have cell phones been around? iPods, laptops, etc.? There has been enough time to run these test tens of thousands of times over. In the end, if my electronic could bring down a aircraft, there is something wrong with the aircraft.
What if a terrorist (enter NSA search criteria) that did not abide by the laws (shocker) and they all left their electronics on? Simply put, the law was dumb, outdated, and only reconsidered because pilots are being allowed to use iPads.
If the teaching instructor can use her iPad during instructions in a Cessna, then I should be able to in a much more sophisticated aircraft.
This says nothing about take off and landing which is the issue being discussed. Because the devices are permitted once the aircraft has reached cruising altitude they are not being banned for radio interference. I think the issue is more about passenger safety although protecting the navigation and communication systems during take off and landing is more important than it is at cruising altitude on autopilot.
Stop trying to be an armchair lawyer. That's the FAA regulation which governs the use of personal electronic devices on aircraft. There's not another one. THAT'S IT. So when you can cite where, in that regulation, it even alludes to anything you're claiming to be the basis of the restriction then you can be taken seriously.
Why do people think they can just make stuff up and then be taken seriously? I know it's anonymous, but bullshit from an anonymous person is still bullshit.

I'm fine with that. Never let anyone use an electronic device on an aircraft but that is not what the discussion is about.Take off an landings is what we are talking about so if you are going by the book please reference the appropriate paragraphs concerning those conditions.

Waah.
A flight is not a social situation, there's nothing wrong with the people around you using phones.

To summarize : young people are stupid. This has been true for millenniums.

I meant talking on the cell phone. Of course you probably knew that already.
