Highlights the case where a KAP140 equipped plane went a bit wobbly

which
was caused by a cell phone carried by a passenger.

Personally I thought it was all rubbish till now, I guess time to take a
different view.

Makes you think when you are using Otto for an approach to minimums as I

did
earlier this week,
an uncommanded roll at 230 feet could be a bit tricky!


I think the authors of GASIL do a generally good job in producing

something
that is bound to be didactic. But this is one of a few examples of really
awful science. So the autopilot makes an uncommanded roll and one of the
passengers happens to find a mobile phone on. So the mobile phone must be
responsible for the autopilot issue. Yeah right...

Was it doing rolls the entire trip?
