More wireless in airplanes stuff

We subject the units under test to very high levels of EMI. This is
done in a shielded room. You would not survive these levels. I won't
even look through the window of the test chamber.

So, with regard to the ban of certain electronic devices such as cell
phones, the cell phone is many orders of magnitude less powerful then
what we cert to.

That is what I thought you were saying.

I must admit, I have always thought the same to be true, and have ridden
commercial flights, while holding a small PDA GPS to the window, so it could
see the satellites, at least on one side of the sky. It was interesting,
and entertaining, knowing what the speed altitude, and rate of climb was.
One time we diverted around a storm cell, while on approach, and the track
drew a nice 1/2 circle around it, and went back on course.

Thanks for confirming it for me. ;-)
