Bahia told her doctors that the moment of the accident was "like an electric shock".

- Airbus A330 - 300 Laptop computers could be to blame for the incident on board a Qantas flight "Laptops might have been the cause of the problem on board the Qantas flight QF72, say the officials." ..   .. .."Apparently the investigators have ascertained that the failure of the altitude control system happened when certain passengers' laptops interfered with the plane's computers." . ..... ...

 

- Airbus A330 - 300 Safety Special: Wi-Fi – for whom the bell tolls "This also devalues the safeguards for resistance to electromagnetic interference . . ." ..   .. .."Alerted by a previous incident last July that was supposedly provoked by interference from a cordless mouse, this time the investigators are turning their attention to the passengers and are looking for someone who might have been using an item of wireless equipment." . ..... ...

 

 

- Airbus A330 - 300 Speculation laptop use caused Qantas flight plunge "Air safety investigators say it is too early to blame passenger laptop computers for causing a Qantas jet to abruptly nose dive on a flight from Singapore to Perth." ..   .. . ."The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has said an "irregularity" in one of the plane's computers may have caused the dramatic altitude change which hurled passengers around the cabin. Laptops could have interfered with the plane's on-board computer system, it has been reported." . ..... ...

GSM Onboard Airbus Aircraft

- Daniel Glaser, ing. Dipl. Airbus Deutschland Gmbh. .. GSM Onboard Airbus Aircraft ..   .. ."This article provides a brief top-level description for the GSM Onboard System for Airbus aircrafts. The system will allow passengers to use their own mobile phones for voice and data services during dedicated phases of the flight." .. ..... ...

Planes and Mobile Phones: how they work The on-board mobile phone system certified by EASA (European Aviation Safety Authority). does not in theory interfere with the plane's navigation instruments. As a precaution it is not activated during landing or take-off until the plane has reached 3000 metres (10,000ft), and can only be used during the flight once the new warning sign 'turn off your phone" has been switched off. However these signs are sometimes ignored by passengers, who try to connect with terrestrial base stations during landing or taxiing.    How it works: Mobile phones connect to a micro-relay antenna installed in the aircraft. A modem sends the wireless communications to a satellite, which transmits them to a station on the ground. They are then sent on to the base station of the relevant phone network. In theory, when connecting with mobile phones the micro-antenna on the aircraft uses only a low energy signal with a weak electromagnetic field of artificial HF microwaves, which should not, according to the certification standards, carry any risk of interference that would jeopardise the electromagnetic immunity of the plane's electronic systems (avionics).
