NYT: "Electronics Interfering with flight"

Slow news day item:- http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/18/bu..._r=1&src=busln

“Since 2000, there have been at least 10 voluntary reports filed by pilots in the United States with the Aviation Safety Reporting System, administered by NASA. In 2007, one pilot recounted an instance when the navigational equipment on his Boeing 737 had failed after takeoff. A flight attendant told a passenger to turn off a hand-held GPS device and the problem on the flight deck went away. ”
