> Will bluetooth interfere with aircraft systems?
Bookmark topic
Well, I used bluetooth on a recent flight from UK to USA and back so I could use my bluetooth headphones on my K810i (in flight mode of course).
They asked that all electronic devices were swicthed off during take-off and landing. Apart from that I had it switched on all the time.

Did you happen to land in a different continent than planned though?
The 777 that came down at Heathrow recently is being suspected as an interference problem.
You just need to put your phone next to some speakers occasionally to hear interference. If that’s on a data cable you could have some major problems.
I think you would have to be in a very specific place on the aircraft to do some serious damage. The problem is no one has ever tested it. Also one phone/computer transmitting might not cause a problem but 500 on a 380 might.
What ever you do make sure there off at take off and landing. At 40,000 feet there’s a better chance of fixing the problems before it becomes disastrous.

@ i-am-andrew Bluetooth doesn't work in flight mode, all radio signals are turned off by it. I guess you had you phone on all flight, not a very good idea since it is illegal and you can be arrested for it.

In P990 (I assume the same with P1) BT is disabled in flight mode.
However, I remember reading that the EU was considering lifting the ban on the use of BT devices in airplanes.
