After a lot of discussion, I still have a question.
Over maybe the last 10km before landing (a bit less on take off) most
aircraft are within range of all the mobiles/devices etc on the ground.
Flying into Sydney from the north, the count would be in the tens of
thousands.
I guess most of the mobiles/devices are emitting - so do we get reports
of erratic instrument behaviour? Radios not working?
Surely from the welter of signals filling the atmosphere in those
situations there would be some proof of interference?
