Can I Use My Wireless Device On An Aircraft?

Answer»

Under current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules, the use of wireless devices on an AIRCRAFT is permitted if the aircraft is parked at the gate and the door is open, and if usage is allowed in the airport. The device must not interfere with flight operation equipment such as NAVIGATION radar, communications, or emergency services.

The use of wireless devices on an aircraft with the door CLOSED, whether it is sitting at the gate, taxiing, or in flight, is prohibited by the FAA and other Civil Aviation AGENCIES worldwide. Wireless devices used on the aircraft (when the door is open at the gate) must meet the requirements of the local country agency or have been granted a waiver by the agency or airport authority.

Wireless devices that are stored on the aircraft for use at the gate must meet certification requirements for the country that the local carrier is flagged for, and must be able to operate in the frequency band of the host country, unless a waiver is granted to the system user. It is the responsibility of the system installer to obtain all LICENSES and frequency or usage waivers.
