For anyone curious I looked into that Zurich crash, they did investigate phones, but it turned up nothing, it did not cause the crash. What's more phones have never been *definitively* shown to cause enough EMI to affect instruments in flight. There *are* a few studies that suggest that in lab conditions it *may* be possible especially on older hardware, and there are anecdotal reports of some specific devices causing issues on real flights, but it's hard to corroborate these. Instead the reason they were banned officially was cell tower hopping and it was the FCC that instituted this ban initially as it was disruptive. It is true though that the FAA is very conservative with new technology and has specified that it's up to the operators of the aircraft determining that it won't cause issues. Edit: and Hindenburg was *supposed* to be filled with Hydrogen, not Helium, so it's not a 'somehow'. I forgot how early mythbusters had more of these issues

There are a few phones that do cause really bad radio interference. Blackberry phones from 2008 to 2012ish all caused a lot of radio interference (like a buzzing static) whenever you'd get a call. I know it was real because my old blackberry got a text message one time and it made the bus radio go haywire causing the driver to have to turn it down almost all the way. I could see how for that reason alone itd cause havoc on a plane

Interstingly, the "cellphones cause airplanes to crash" myth has actual validity in the present days. 5G services in America operate close to the frequency band used by radar altimeters (3.7-4.0 GHz and 4.2-4.4 GHz respectively), which may cause the above-ground altitude reading to become unreliable. That instrument is primarily used during landing, which sounds bad, but the worst that can happen (assuming a competent flight crew) is a go-around if the pilot can't stabilize the approach. The FAA has certified most aircraft to be safe from this interference, though. Flying within a 5G tower's range is far less risky than being a Boeing whistleblower (0:2 fatalities). European 5G towers don't have this effect because they operate on a lower frequency band of around 3.4-3.8 GHz.

@RainAngel111 14 күн бұрын

Thing is the main characteristic of 5G is that it only works on shorter distances. So there's no way it'll be a problem in the air. As you pointed out the instrument that it could interfere with is something that really only gets used during landing to help with line ups. It shouldn't have much of an issue distinguishing the signals in that kind of environment.

When it comes to cellphones, remember that old cellphones were analog and used very different frequencies that were capable of causing interference with aviation instruments. It’s less about causing a plane to lose control and more about the tiny deflection in the instrument needles that, over 100’s to 1000’s of km’s, becomes a big problem. The early days of cellphones were actually the 80’s and it was a lot less regulated and a little more Wild West. They understood how instruments worked and how cell phones were being produced and said, “There’s possibility for interference and the pilots wouldn’t know until it was a problem,” so they banned their use. People don’t want to believe something as simple as a cellphone can cause a significant navigation issue, but it could’ve. More so in the early days, than today. The issue also being that a cellphone is more likely to get a signal during the key stages of flight, during take off and landing. Once flying, the altitude and speed of the plane become a problem when connecting to a tower. Today, they ask you to turn off devices so you pay attention during takeoff and landing. It’s the same reason you are asked to sit up, put your stuff away and open the windows. You are alert, paying attention and clearing the way should there be an emergency. I wouldn’t want to test the cellphones of the 80/90’s in those decades. Planes tend to lag in technology by 10-20 years. But today? I’m confident your cellphone is fine. But turn it off and pay attention to what’s going on around you.

@@Damaged7 Nonsense, even old planes were tested for RF interference, due to things called "lightning", which emit RF signals a million times stronger than a cell phone. (And no, an airplane is not a perfect Faraday cage - it has windows where external RF signals can get through.) Cell phones were banned primarily because it was the perfect kind of security theater that also helped the bottom line.

@MaxPower-vf8kt 28 күн бұрын

@@i.m.9823 it’s about altering the signal being received and giving false information versus causing the plane to crash. As an example of sensitivity, Nickel ore cause significant compass deviations and flying around the northern edge of Lake Superior and Huron can cause, up to 15° compass variations because of the High nickel content in the ground. The original instruments used for navigation were very sensitive. Planes needed to be tested with all equipment on, to determine how they interfered with each other. A small needle deflection due to interference can have huge consequences over 100’s to 1000’s of km’s. The instruments don’t need to go wild, in fact, that would be ideal because the pilot knows there is a problem. What’s more an issue is a small deflection that the pilot wouldn’t notice and it’s a very tiny window to cause problems. Aviation relied solely on radio frequency instruments up until about 15 years ago. Even though GPS was around before that, it was usually a supplemental tool until very recently and even today, it’s mostly classed as a secondary instrument, even though it’s practically used as primary. Pilots use both, but if there is a conflict in information, there really isn’t a way to test GPS is off, other than using instruments that rely on frequencies and because most planes have more than one frequency based instrument. GPS has more issues than people think and the radio instruments proved to be more accurate and reliable for 50-60 years, already. That, and it took a long time to update the whole system, to start switching to gps. Old phones were not as shielded and the regulations on which bands they could use, were not as strict/followed. They operate far more as an analog device than the digital devices we have today. The aviation industry knew for decades that other electronics can cause deviations in the instruments. With the advent of cellphones it became a concern of “We can’t be sure if that phone is safe, but we know similar devices can cause problems, so we want to to turn it off.” Today, I’d say your phone is safe, today. I have an older plane and fly with my cellphone on, I don’t fly relying on instruments and fly by visual flight rules (VFR). Oddly, one of the biggest instrument errors I’ve seen was putting my hand up on the instrument dash, next to the floating compass, and the nickel in my ring turned the compass s about 30°. Why do you still need to turn it off? Because they want you paying attention to landing and take off and when you are in the air, you are too high and too fast to keep a signal. I fly at 4000’ and have a hard time getting a signal for more than 4-5 minutes.

5:30 the math is wrong. In this case it's as simple as dividing the molar masses of each component with one another since the amount of particles (moles) in 1 L of gas is the same regardless of the type of gas used. Hence you can calculate the ratio as such: Ratio = M(N2)/M(He) = 28/4 = 7 Which tells us that 1 L of N2 (dinitrogen - how nitrogen bonds in nature) is 7 times heavier than 1 L of Helium. Not 10 times .. 7 .. So they are off by 30%! Now, air is 78% N2 mixed with 21% O2 (Oxygen) where the last 1% is (roughly) Argon, a noble gas that - like Helium - does not bond with itself in nature. Hence we can estimate the ratio a bit better: Ratio = (M(N2)*0,78+M(O2)*0,21+M(Ar)*0,01)/M(He) = (28*0,78+32*0,21+40*0,01)/4 = 7.24 Which leads us to the conclusion that atmospheric air is approximately 7.24 times heavier than Helium.

@8:51 where the commentator says "the more helium you have the more air it displaces and the greater the lift" that is not true, if it was the case then the gas bottle it comes in would be floating away. It's about volume displacement. As you inflate a normal latex balloon, the greater the pressure is needed to expand that balloon, the more helium you add will only make it heavier as the pressure builds inside, that's why weather balloons are made out of a thinner, more expanding material.

The only thing that was busted were their clueless attempt when removing ballast, and just cutting away from one side without any awareness of balancing it and seems no straps was fitted to pull it down, so one side just raised to the ceiling and no way to pull it down. thats a shame when they conclude "busted" for that "raft" when in wasn't and it clearly would work, as it did on paper - as the lifting power was there, and simply failed from own mistake.

It's funny how model planes have nearly all the data that commercial plane does but there is no cellphone issues with them. You can literaly steer drones with your phone and see where it's going. So why phones are a problem in big planes?

Acesti limitator pune in pericol viata motociclistilor, avand drumuri oricum slab iluminate si slab semnalizate, pana la introducerea unui nou indicator care sa avertizeze soferii de acest limitator, poezia de pe alte panourile aditionale ale acestui limitator sunt cel putin periculoase. Poate duce la victime pe trotuar, pierderea controlului masinii datorita acestui limitator, ranirea sau chiar decesul motociclistilor, distrugerea bunurilor personale.
