While I would be more than happy to divulge all the results from the study that I was personally involved in, due to confidentiality clauses in my contract with the airline and aviation authority concerned, I am unable to do so.

However, plenty of data and similar reports have been published. I would advise anyone interested to visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phones_on_aircraft.

My background is electronics and aircraft systems and not telephone networks. My testing involved mainly the Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) issues.

I must stress here that I am not an airline employee, I am an independent consultant. I have no axe to grind and owe no favours. My only concern is that, like everyone here on this site, I am a very frequent flier and want to carry on flying safely. Anything that can jeopardise my safety is of great concern to me.

The truth is out there.
