They could definitely test that myth. It's not like the myth requires them to be in the air to test it, and they've been to plane graveyards before. I'm sure they wouldn't have a problem getting airliner parts they could test this on.


Not sure about that. Didn't they get refused when they wanted to test the myth about a taxi being blown over by a jet taking off? Testing whether a mobile phone can adversely affect avionics would be even worse from the point of view of the insurance companies.

I've never really thought twice about reception on my mobile phone. It's very rare that I don't get any reception when I'm outside.
