The Safety Regulation Group (SRG) in England has reportedly found evidence that supports a ban of mobile phones onboard aircraft.
New studies show that mobile phones do indeed affect aircraft instruments, according to Computerworld. The studies, which were carried out on Boeing 737 and 747 aircraft earlier this year, apparently show that mobile phones with an output of 1-2W can cause deviations in the instruments that are beyond the allowed limits.
The results also showed that the effect on instruments was greater from mobile phones used near the front of the cabin.
