    This was the day with the biggest number of unknowns.

  10. Aviation Mentor: Can LightSquared 4G and GPS Coexist?

    aviationmentor.blogspot.com &bull May 31, 2011

    There's a common line of thinking among some folks in the aviation community that the federal government doesn't restrict cellphone use in an airborne aircraft, that cellular telephones do not interfere with radio navigation, and that it's fine to use a cellphone or have it powered on in flight.

The fact is that we are surrounded by an ever-growing sea of radio frequencies and detecting interference requires a more rigorous approach… Full Story »
