Hello everybody! I was looking for some details about texting while driving on the internet and stumbled upon article on Mashable about Australian pilot used cell phone and almost crashed a plane. Can I prevent such thing somehow?
First, he must understand what a jammer is, how it works, and why it can block the propagation of other communication tools. To stop the signal propagation, the first thing to stop the signal is that the Tool frequency should be big enough so that we all know that the power of the mobile phone is relatively small.
However, as a cell phone APP can interfere with the phone itself is a bit incredible. Its authenticity has yet to be confirmed. So, if you need a mobile phone jammer, do it yourself or buy one, which is more reliable.
If you would try to approach the problem from the other corner I will disappoint you too. While almost all problems which have cell phones involved might be solved with the help of cell phone jammers there are few ones which may not, and this one related to the cell phone usage in the airplanes is one of them. Do not, I mean it, DO NOT use any kind of signal jammer inside the flying plane! You will risk your life along with few hundreds of other people’s lives, including both crew and passengers. If any system of the plane go wild because of wireless signal interference, there will be low chances for you to survive the plane crash.
So in case of pilot using cell phone you can’t do anything to prevent him from doing that. The only thing you can hope for is that he is either conscientious or his superiors simply made it clear that no cell phones or other gadgets must distract a pilot from driving the plane. And, of course, you can wait in hope that the system that allows to disable cell phones inside the plane without harming its other systems will be invented someday
