Well I know one thing, if you are on my Cessna Skyhawk while I'm pilot in command - no cell phones for you

I accidentally left my cell phone on in my flight bag after calling flight service at a stopover, and while I'm a VFR pilot (so I don't know how much it would interfere with navigation instruments), I did indeed occasionally hear that electronic interference on my headset; you know...the little buzzing sound when sometimes you hold a cellphone up to a speaker or television sometimes.

While I know there is a world of a difference between a Boeing, Airbus, and Cessna, my opinion still leans toward the "no" side.
