Digital Photography On Aircraft Not Permitted on Take Off or Landing

"Mark B." wrote in message ... Guess you haven't taken any flights for a while. Airline security has changed drastically over the last several years, including turning off all electronic deviced during takeoff & landings. Even something so harmless as a PDA, which I usually have with me to read e-books during a flight. Most PDAs have wireless connections built-in now, but years ago when I started using one there was no such thing - didn't matter, it still had to be off except while the aircraft was at cruising altitude. Well then, how do professional photographers get their city aerial pics? Do they have to especially hire aircraft for this purpose? Aerial photography isn't done from commercial flights. The security involved in commercial flights has more to do with remote detonators and communication with other parties than anything else. A device used to remotely detonate an explosive device can be camouflaged as a PDA or camera. Aerial photography is done from small planes or helicopters. Whether they are owned by the photographer or hired is immaterial. I no longer have a pilot's license, but when I did there was never a question about what devices I could bring to the plane or use in the plane or when I could use them. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |
