Cellular Phone and 3G Internet Usage Aboard Private Aircraft and the FAR's?
Jan 10, 2010 by cargo pilot | Posted in Aircraft
Assume a private aircraft, operating under part 91 or 135, or 121 for that matter, where in the FAR's is cellular communication voice or data usage in flight discussed? I don't see anything in FAA regulations that prohibits the use of a cellular phone, or a cellular data device aboard the airplane. Am I missing something in the FAR's? The most I can find is some fairly new FCC rule, but don't know where to find that. Maybe the FCC has a problem with it. If so, I want to see the rules.
If you want to cite interference with airborne navigational and communication equipment, please show me any proof such interference ever had any effect on any avionics. I don't think there is any FAA rule prohibiting cellular use, either for voice or data. I have never experienced any avionics anomalies
I want to build a netbook based GPS mapping EFB (electronic flight bag) with internet access over normal, terrestrial 3G GSM, and/or TDMA networks and get my weather over the internet, rather than getting an expensive XM WX Bluetooth receiver and subscription.
So, who's gonna bust me and under what regulation, if I use an EFB that connects to cellular 3G while airborne?
Me Hates Mike Beech shows the FAR's for 91, 121 and 135 operations. Operating under part 91, it appears the pilot can use devices other than those exempted in para B and can connect to the internet via 3G, but better not be operating on 800mhz to satisfy the FCC. Further, it appears the 135 operator can also operate cellular, if it is determined to not interfere with avionics systems under his certificate.
I notice the FCC rule forbids cellular telephones under certain circumstances, but does not mention data over cellular.
It would appear the part 91 operator, operating under VFR and not using the 800mhz band can legally connect to 3G networks while airborne. No?
I believe the problem with use of terrestrial cellular systems is one of channel allocation. When you're at 10,000 feet, you can "see" a lot of towers and could potentially control one channel over many towers, rather on the ground, you will be nearer to one tower, the other towers are free to assign the same channel to other users. Since head sets are often sold with cell phone connections for "ground use", I think it's safe to say they are also used aloft. I think I could bulid a snazzy electronic flight bag with 3g internet connection within the 1900 - 2200 mhz and there is nothing anyone could say about it.
It is quite legal to use a cell phone on a private aircraft, my headset even has a plug for my cell phone.
You can give me all the thumbs down you want, but in Canada it is NOT illegal to use a cell phone in a private aircraft!

91.21 Portable electronic devices.
(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, no person may operate, nor may any operator or pilot in command of an aircraft allow the operation of, any portable electronic device on any of the following U.S.-registered civil aircraft:
(1) Aircraft operated by a holder of an air carrier operating certificate or an operating certificate; or
(2) Any other aircraft while it is operated under IFR.
(b) Paragraph (a) of this section does not apply to—
(1) Portable voice recorders;
(2) Hearing aids;
(3) Heart pacemakers;
(4) Electric shavers
121.306 Portable electronic devices.
(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, no person may operate, nor may any operator or pilot in command of an aircraft allow the operation of, any portable electronic device on any U.S.-registered civil aircraft operating under this part.
(b) Paragraph (a) of this section does not apply to—
(1) Portable voice recorders;
(2) Hearing aids;
(3) Heart pacemakers;
(4) Electric shavers; or
(5) Any other portable electronic device that the part 119 certificate holder has determined will not cause interference with the navigation or communication system of the aircraft on which it is to be used.
135.144 Portable electronic devices.
(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, no person may operate, nor may any operator or pilot in command of an aircraft allow the operation of, any portable electronic device on any of the following U.S.-registered civil aircraft operating under this part.
(b) Paragraph (a) of this section does not apply to—
(1) Portable voice recorders;
(2) Hearing aids;
(3) Heart pacemakers;
(4) Electric shavers; or
(5) Any other portable electronic device that the part 119 certificate holder has determined will not cause interference with the navigation or communication system of the aircraft on which it is to be used.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules prohibit the use of cellular phones using the 800 MHz frequency and other wireless devices on airborne aircraft. This ban was put in place because of potential interference to wireless networks on the ground.
47 C.F.R. § 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 airborne (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:
“The use of cellular telephones while this aircraft is airborne is prohibited by FCC rules, and the violation of this rule could result in suspension of service and/or a fine. The use of cellular telephones while this aircraft is on the ground is subject to FAA regulations.”
Me Hates Mike Beech | Jan 11, 2010
Generally, private aircraft operate under part 91. Part 135/121 operations are a different kettle of fish (see the last point of 14CFR91.21 at the bottom of this posting)
As you already know, you get more cell RF from the towers than your phone produces. And then there is all the broadcast stations that surround aviation comm/nav frequencies.
Meanwhile, I have been forced to use a cell phone while in flight -- When the radios fail and you are in the soup, you do what you have to do.
So, going back to the 14CFR91.21 wording take note of (b) (5) which allows the PIC to allow the use of cellphone, etc., if the Operator [not exactly the same as PIC] has determined that those devices are not interfering with navigation/communications:
(b) Paragraph (a) of this section does not apply to--
(1) Portable voice recorders;
(2) Hearing aids;
(3) Heart pacemakers;
(4) Electric shavers; or
(5) Any other portable electronic device that the operator of the aircraft has determined will not cause interference with the navigation or communication system of the aircraft on which it is to be used.
(c) In the case of an aircraft operated by a holder of an air carrier operating certificate or an operating certificate, the determination required by paragraph (b)(5) of this section shall be made by that operator of the aircraft on which the particular device is to be used. In the case of other aircraft, the determination may be made by the pilot in command or other operator of the aircraft.

If you're just trying to impress us with how smart you think you are... I really don't care!
I don't understand why you idiots continue to pursue this line of questions. Use of a cellular telephone while the aircraft is in flight is clearly a violation of FAA and FCC rules. Nuf said!
If you want to change the law, then hire a lawyer and take it up with the FAA and FCC, But stop jamming up bandwidth on this forum arguing about a subject you just can't do anything about.
JetDoc | Jan 11, 2010
The FAA doesn't make rules for cell phone usage. The FCC does, however, and prohibit use of cell phones in aircraft.
The only caveat I can find on 3g(or any electronic device) usage is it must be tested and certified that it will not cause interference to your aircraft instruments.

This privat investigator put a gps tracker on my car,how can i block it?
Apr 06, 2009 by ice_ice442 | Posted in Volkswagen
I have a jammer wich blocks every cell phone signal even 3g,and it blocks L1 and L2 gps signals,even wifi signals....but its still not blocking the signal for the tracker he has on my car...
Go to a mechanic and get them to remove it. At the same time, you should be able to just pull it off.
Also, after it's off, ask for it back and place it on a bus or taxi. Or maybe if u think u know who put it there, put it on their car.
Answer mine! Fun question about VW (No haters please) cars. Easy 10 points! -http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index; _ylt=AlQAi_cxuEq0xDd0oSW6m1_sy6IX;_ylv=3 ?qid=20090405184218AAhLvwd

If you know the GPS is there, why don't you just remove it?
Place it under the seat of a city bus and let them track the bus back and forth across town.
southwestskywaitress | Apr 06, 2009
talk to a mechanic and have him find it, pull it out and run it over.
then go to the cops to make sure this PI is legit, and see if you can get a restraining order
sirzerty | Apr 06, 2009
ok, after watching Transporter 3, you can apparently completely submerge your VW/AUDI in a stream for 3 hours. Also, nitrogen filled tires are apparently breathable by super human Jason Statham. So drive it in a river and short it out!
What I would recommend is going to a police station and having it reported and then having it removed. There are so many darn electronics in those cars that it would be a nightmare if you accidently yanked the wrong thing.
