Mobile phones and wireless internet use frequencies that could interfere with the plane's frequencies. If your MP3 players does not use wireless signals, it should be fine. Enjoy your flight, and just a reminder, don't bring drugs back to NZ if you going through Bali! |

| 360638 | 2005-06-03 10:46:00 | my mp3 player has a fm radio Any radio device is a no-no, but realistically they are unlikely to find out at the time. Only at the NTSB inquest into the 234 fatalaties after the plane crashes will the truth probably come out, as to how the local oscillator in the radio interfered with the planes guidance system. But by then, its unlikely to affect you anyway. |
