pheilman_ <<but listening carefully during the airline safety announcements reveals that cell phone use is restricted by the FCC, not the FAA>> I have to take an exception to your thesis.. Every on board announcement that I have ever heard states that it is restricted by the FAA.. Not the FCC.. The truth of the matter is that it is restricted by both the FAA and the FCC.. The FAA ruling on this is covered by Section 6 (ii) of FAA AC 91.21-1 (USE OF PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES ABOARD AIRCRAFT).. bts.gov Section 6.7.b goes on to clarify. ."Currently, the FAA does not prohibit use of cellular telephones in aircraft while on the ground if the operator has determined that they will not cause interference with the navigation or communication system of the aircraft on which they are to be used. An example might be their use at the gate or during an extended wait on the ground, while awaiting a gate, when specifically authorized by the captain. A cellular telephone must not be authorized for use while the aircraft is being taxied for departure after leaving the gate. The unit must be turned off and properly stowed, otherwise it is possible that a signal from a ground cell could activate it. Whatever procedures an operator elects to adopt should be clearly spelled out in oral departure briefings and by written material provided to each passenger to avoid passenger confusion. BTW.. Maurice.. I believe that Sat Phones would be considered classified as "intentional radiators or transmitters." (Sec. 6.7) The FCC rules are outlined in FCC 47CFR Part 22 Section 22.925 § 22.925 Prohibition on airborne operation of cellular telephones. Cellular telephones installed in or carried aboard airplanes, balloons or any other type of aircraft must not be operated while such aircraft are air-borne (not touching the ground). When any aircraft leaves the ground, all cellular telephones on board that aircraft must be turned off. The following notice must be posted on or near each cellular telephone installed in any aircraft. Notice the FCC directive just states that a notice must be posted on or near each cellular telephone INSTALLED in any aircraft. Hope that clarifies things PCSTEL
