Not a good idea... Leave the big boys at 20k+ feet.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20694127 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 21:39:00 EDT Re: lets bring down planes http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20691396 Toadman :

I don't think people yapping on their phones is worth more than a safe approach/landing.
This is the primary reason. I saw a statistic somewhere that 40-50% of cell phones are still on (non-intentionally). I have yet to see a plane go down because of cell phone use.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20691396 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 12:43:57 EDT Re: lets bring down planes http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20691361 expert007 : Not the case. You don't want people making cell phone calls while the flight crew is shooting a Cat IIIB ILS approach. Not to confuse the issue, but technically speaking, there are soooo many variables that its a much more prudent decision to maintain an altitude restriction. Much more. I don't think people yapping on their phones is worth more than a safe approach/landing. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20691361 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 12:36:55 EDT lets bring down planes http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20691119 patcat88 : And I bet the useless 10000 feet restriction exists. If a cellphone can bring down a plane, perhaps the terrorists need to stop buying SAM missles and simple take an cellphone with analog on it. That baby is like an EMP bomb.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20691119 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 11:50:33 EDT
