The Navy has tested everything for interference. And what they haven't tested the independent testing labs have.
I worked for one of those independent testing labs, the one that taught the Navy every year about DO-160D (at the time, it went to E now it's all the way to G). Furthermore I was at Pax River a few times at their testing facility for the Osprey, when were you hanging around? Who do you know in the team at Pax?
I'd be more concerned with GPS getting jammed intentionally or otherwise, by somebody on the ground. Jamming GPS is like pushing the EASY button. What's really cool is when you just distort it a wee tad so instead of lining up on final, you line up on the 280 highway.
You don't need to be that silly. There are keychains online that you can buy (just illegal to operate) which completely do the job for a half mile or so. With my 12V batter and some aluminum foil I can increase that to the size of a city. This is ancient knowledge though- this has been public knowledge for 15 years or so right?
The whole cell phone interference thing is nonsense. The rules against cell phone use on planes come not from the FAA, but from the FCC.
Fiction can be fun, it comes from both
That's because the original cell systems were based on a ground umbra geometry. Push a signal from above the towers and now you've got one phone talking to six or eight transmitters and the whole system goes haywire. Modern systems haven't worked that way for decades.
They still work that way, they just shunt the MAC address when the system picks up the same MAC address on more than X number of towers. At least 8 years ago that's how it worked. Are you a Cell tower guy or an aircraft certification guy? I'm the latter, so my experience is only with that field, I only know the cell stuff through an uncle who worked for AT&T for decades.
The laws remain on the FAA side too, those laws you don't think exist. The BCAA has them too apparently (so rumored). Any time you think the cell phone can't cause interference to a VHF comm, you and the CA can leave the phone on, invariably you'll get some interference on the way up that you can hear. Or just fly long enough (last time I heard it was two plus years back DEN Center) and a controller on the ground will leave the phone on in his little dark room and you'll get something similar (except it'll be on every transmission).
I've noticed larger jets are fairly immune to the problem, Saabs and 1900's aren't so good and I've had the CRJ do something similar but sometimes I can't tell if it's just screwing with my headset ANR or otherwise. United pilots spent months categorizing a thousand devices over six months one time and Boeing spent one day refuting all the evidence they'd come up with. Impossible, but that's what Boeing is selling. It's unlikely the interference is going to bring down an aircraft and there's an honest discussion that's been ongoing for years about if the amount of microwatts of interference being created is worth worrying about, but none of the serious discussions involve questioning if there IS interference.
There is interference, it's measurable, it's been measured in the past by a few non government groups. One of them went so far as to say there are an average of 4 cellphones left on every flight (SWA was the airline used so you can approximate ratio).
Laws should be like houses in Switzerland, You don't get to build a new one except on the site of an old one. Otherwise we end up like we are, having to plod through a 20 foot deep miasma of molasses in order only to do simple tasks like get on a darned bus.
I don't know what that means.
