PREVIOUS RESULTS

We received over 700 responses to our question last week on cell phone use in airplanes. Approaching half (44 percent) of those responding felt there might be some risk of interference when using cell phones in the air but were not totally sure of that fact. About 28 percent don’t see a problem with their use and have done so on GA and airline aircraft alike. Only 8 percent felt using cell phones in the air compromises everyone’s safety.
