Post subject: Digital Photography On Aircraft Not Permitted on Take Off or Landing
Archived from groups: rec>photo>digital, others (more info?)

I was on an Air New Zealand flight a while ago, and I started to take a few
pics (from my digital still camera) as the aircraft took off. An air hostess
politely told me that the use of electronic devices was not permitted during
take-offs or landings. I told her that I was using a dedicated still digital
camera and not a camcorder, but she still asked me to turn it off. About 10
minutes later, when land was well out of sight, we were able to turn on our
"electronic devices". But about 10 minutes before landing, while still over
the sea, all electronic devices had to be turned off again. The only
worthwhile photography from this flight was during the first and last 5
minutes of the flight, and this would apply to many other flights that I
have been on.

Now I know that the use of camcorders has been banned during take-offs and
landings, but I didn't know that digital still cameras now suffered this
fate. My digital camera can't take movies, but I know that a lot of digital
still cameras can also take movies. From a practical point of view, does
anyone know whether digital cameras really CAN interfere with an aircraft's
navigation systems? Are airlines being a little too cautious with regard to
the use of digital cameras and camcorders?

About 5 years ago, nobody cared when I used my camcorder or digital still
camera during take-offs or landings, and there were no reports then of
interference with the aircrafts' navigation systems! So what has changed
during the last 5 years?

I am really doubtful there would ever actually be a problem but just in case
there might be I personally am prepared to comply with the wishes of the
crew "just in case".

Guess you haven't taken any flights for a while. Airline security has
changed drastically over the last several years, including turning off all
electronic deviced during takeoff & landings. Even something so harmless as
a PDA, which I usually have with me to read e-books during a flight. Most
PDAs have wireless connections built-in now, but years ago when I started
using one there was no such thing - didn't matter, it still had to be off
except while the aircraft was at cruising altitude.

I think there are some considerations you haven't thought about.

I don't know what the air hostess to passenger ratio was, but we
can't expect the air hostesses to have the time to check out each
passenger's device to see if it's something that is, or is not, within
the rules. In that brief time that you were stopped from using your
device, she had to monitor several passengers and conduct her other
duties. It makes their job easier to just say "no devices".

Also, there's the security consideration of allowing images to be
taken of ground facilities. Perhaps we're more conscious of this in
the US, but the idea of people being able to photograph airport ground
facilities is not acceptable here.

It may be that the possible interference in the aircraft's systems is
not the reason for the ban at all. It's a plausible excuse that
passengers are more likely to accept because they don't know anything
about the aircraft's system.

That is not something that has changed or is new. It was
true long before, and has nothing to do with security,
but rather with safety.

Exactly. The problem is that "electronic devices"
generate radio frequency signals (and digital device
tend to generate extremely broad spectrum signals,
making them far worse).

The _rule_ is "no electronic devices", the airline
attendant has no discretion.

That is not true.

Please direct that sort of response to alt.conspiracy,
where it belongs.

The reason for the ban *is* to prevent interference with
aircraft electronics (e.g., radio and other navigation
systems). That is a *very* real potential.

First a lot of people who answered to this posting seem to confuse security
and safety. The "all electronic devises off" has nothing to do with
security but is all about safety and non-interference with avionics and has
has been in effect for a long time.
However the operator does have discretion to allow devices they deem
harmless.

FAR § 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—
[...]
(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.

I suppose other countries have enacted similar regulations.

Photographing an airport is no different than
photographing any other publicly viewable
infrastructure. Which is to say that the property owner
can indeed disallow photography on their premises, but
cannot disallow photography from a public location.

A smart pilot wants any device that can generate RFI to
be type certified for the specific aircraft he is
piloting during critical times such as takeoff and
landing.

You're already bouncing off the wall and the ceiling,

I strongly doubt it, but airlines seem to take the position that
avoiding all possible sources of interference is worth the inconvenience
to their customers, and governments often make that mandatory.

Fifty fifty as to which is worse. The cell phone has a
higher output level, but it produces radiation within a
relatively narrow band of frequencies. The camera is
little different than a laptop computer, and while it
produces only very low levels, the frequency range is
very broad.

Don't fly on any airplanes then, because potentially
they *all* could.

The difference is that at altitude very few problems are
critical. The pilots have time to determine that an
instrument is not accurate, and can make reasoned
decisions about alternate methods to compensate. During
takeoff and landings, they are making split second
decisions one after the other and the effect of an
instrument failure is magnified many times.

But there *have* been instances of interference with the
flight instruments from cell phones.

The reason there have been no crashes is because they
are banned, and the exposure has therefore been reduced.

The cell phone does not generate a wideband radio noise
virtually across the entire useful frequency spectrum
either, and your digital camera does.

Receiving radio signals is not a risk factor.

That suggests they would not agree with you at all!

Cell phone systems are not compatible with aircraft
operation.

Can you imagine, for example, how many cell sites will
be triggered if you are at 35,000 feet over London and
try to get a dialtone?
