> Will bluetooth interfere with aircraft systems?
Bookmark topic
I know you have to have your cell phone turned on in aircraft mode when in a plane (phone turns off gms module) because it could interfere with aircraft systems and communication. But say I find out I'm sitting next to another esato maniac and want to exchange some data with him over bluetooth? Would this in any way interfere with the plane's systems and maybe even cause it to ahem-CRASH?

Try it next time you fly but let us know what date it is so that we can all watch the news for any planes falling out of the sky
For what it's worth I've used my "notebook" on the plane which uses bluetooth for its keyboard and mouse and we arrived with no problems after a 4hr flight

Well..
Bluetooth only has a range of ~10m
And even if you within 10meters of the cockpit it doubt it'd make the plane crash:p

Flight mode disables ALL radios, Bluetooth included. Unless I'm mistaken.

Be brave. Power on the phone normal. What's the worst that could happen?

well, so far it hasnt been confirmed wether cell phones interfere with the plane'scommunication systems or not, but its likely to do. Bluetooth or anything else, may interfere. So to be on the safer side, dont switch it on, especially during the critical times of flight,i.e- take off and landing.
Also, u can turn on bluetooth while using flight mode in s60, dont know abt se(a100 u cant).

Sure thing. Just like playing your portable CD Player (make it portable DVD player now-a-days) on a plane will bring it down... 10 years ago I was flying on Lufthansa and I was notified by the flight attendants that I MAY NOT Play my CD Player while on board of the plane! That was perhaps the most ludicrous rule I've ever seen.
Like I've said - on my computer I CANNOT disable the BT because I'd loose control since BOTH my mouse AND keyboard only function over BT. If it was such an issue I'm positive that the maker would have posted on it - DO NOT TRY TO USE IN FLIGHT... Not to mention they've already made planes with Wifi on board which has MUCH higher power output than either BT or your cellphone...
