Working on Laptops and Operating Mobile phones during Flight A study conducted by US-based Carnegie Mellon University has discovered that mobile phones, games machines, notebooks and other wireless devices can interfere with critical systems during flight.

According to Spectrum Online, the study found that loads of devices can interfere with instruments on planes, despite passengers believing their gizmos are as safe as houses.

The researchers conducted an undercover study over a period of three months and found careless passengers were making mobile phone calls during flight, including during takeoff and landing.
