smartphones and tables<\/a> can be turned on during a flight.<\/p>\nAirline passengers may soon be able to use their smartphones and\u00a0tablets\u00a0during flights with fewer interruptions.<\/p>\n
The Federal Aviation Administration\u00a0has formed a committee\u00a0to reconsider its policy on when electronic devices can be turned on during a flight.<\/p>\n
“With so many different types of devices available, we recognize that this is an issue of consumer interest,” Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a statement\u00a0released today. “Safety is our highest priority, and we must set appropriate standards as we help the industry consider when passengers can use the latest technologies safely during a flight.”<\/p>\n
And, travelers who are worried that this may mean they’ll have to listen to the person sitting next to them chat on the phone incessantly don’t need to worry — this policy review will not include allowing calls from cell phones during flights.<\/p>\n
Airlines currently prohibit passengers from using devices during takeoff and landing in fear that transmissions would interferer with the airplane’s equipment, but the FAA’s\u00a0call for comments\u00a0said consumers expect a much more fluid experience. The formation of an industry group to take on the consumer desire versus safety concern issue comes after the FAA said\u00a0earlier this year\u00a0that it was going to research the issue.<\/p>\n
The group — which will includes members from the mobile industry, aviation manufacturing, as well as pilot and flight attendant groups, airlines, and passenger associations — will begin\u00a0soliciting comments from the public tomorrow.<\/p>\n
The committee is interested in hearing from aircraft operators, flight crews, security, smartphone and tablet device manufacturers, and passengers.<\/p>\n
