Abstract:
Rapidly improved electronic technology has led to a worldwide proliferation of portable electronic devices (PEDs). They have received a portion of blame (or suspicion) for unexplained aircraft electronic system anomalies. Significant concern of PED interference to airplane electronic systems as well as ground communication networks has brought about many debates; many people question the rationale and the existence of a solid scientific basis of current regulations and policies. This paper is to provide a broad view of the issues associated with airborne operation of PEDs.
