The "Digital Photography Not Permitted On Aircraft..." thread
Gene S. Berkowitz wrote:
I flew SW a few months back; there was still an ashtray built into the lavatory door. With a "No Smoking" sticker above it. Well, the weight of the sticker is negligable, so it doesn't have to be recorded. If someone were to remove the ashtray than that's not only more work, but someone would have to record the change in the airplanes logs and the weight and balance of the aircraft would have to be re-calculated. Ridiculous? Well, it's those regulations that make air travel as save as it is today. Compare that to those people who behave like 3 year old toddlers and stomp their feet on the ground because they are not allowed to take photos during the most critical phases of flight. jue |

The "Digital Photography Not Permitted On Aircraft..." thread

Compare that to those people who behave like 3 year old toddlers and stomp their feet on the ground because they are not allowed to take photos during the most critical phases of flight. jue If you read the main thread, I was questionning whether the use of digital cameras during flight could cause interference to an aircraft's navigation systems. I wanted to understand why there should be a ban on digital photography during takeoffs and landings. About 720 postings were made in that usenet thread, which shows how many issues are involved. People who took part in that thread were not "stomping their feet on the ground", they were happy to obey the airlines' rules, but they wanted to understand why there is a ban on digital photography during critical phases of a flight. They also wanted to know whether this ban also applies to the use of older film cameras. Podge |
