Default FM radio interference from planes

No it is not. The FCC is very adamant about the interference
interpretation.


Yes, it is. Just as the legal AM transmitter that's practically in my
backyard is not in violation of FCC rules when it bleeds into every
amplified electronic device in my house (and causes all sorts of other weird
issues too), so too is some other legal transmitter not in violation.

That is the point! The "transmitting" device may not cause (is not
allowed to cause) interference even when it when it is operated fully
with in compliance to part 15. A number of companies are finding that
out the expensive way at present.


Such as?

For part 15 devices that little sticker says it all.
The only thing you shouldn't have to worry about interfering with
would be another part 15 device.


Again, you are missing the point. Practically any device that is in the
neighbor's house that might be interfered with is a Part 15 device (as I've
already stated in this thread). The neighbors won't have any valid
complaint, as their electronic devices are all required to accept
interference.
