Our country intends to allow mobile phone on the plane to use 2016 flight mode

The new rules to the ground it will take time

EASA says electronic devices such as mobile phone can open during civil aircraft flight, but airlines also need to have a review, confirm the plane system is not affected by the portable electronic device signal, and then work out their own performance criterion.This means that the implementation of the new rules in some airlines may be delayed.

Previously, EASA regulations passengers during flight mobile phone must be adjusted to flight mode.

"On the issue of mobile electronic devices, all airlines may choose different policies. However, the new rules for the European passengers in any plane using a mobile phone call or use WiFi to remove the last administrative obstacles, the rest is a technical problem."EASA points.However, some analysts pointed out that the new rules also will take time for landing.

Our country is also prepared

Air China, the public communication association expert committee Zhou Hong tells a reporter, in view of the fact that many countries have opened up phone "flight mode" in the use of the plane, the civil aviation administration is exploring 3000 meters altitude allows the use of the feasibility of the flight mode, the current technology verification has begun, is expected to 2016 with clear results, the possibility is very large.

Moreover, with Air China, China Eastern airlines, China southern airlines have test on WiFi system, calling on the plane is also developed.Miit thayer lab director He Guili tells a reporter, at present domestic several big airlines, telecommunications operators and research institutions are preparing to set up alliance of airborne public mobile communication, the key research and solve the problem for the phone on the plane.

Interpretation of the

How far is on the phone?

European civil aviation, analysts say there is currently no mobile phone signal at an altitude of 33000 feet, so also can't make a phone call.At the same time, the airline also requires high investment costs on the plane with airborne WiFi devices.In addition, the aviation company according to the survey, most of the passengers in the flight against them during a call.

"Call the key is to solve the plane cell signal compatibility issues with the aircraft electronic navigation system, at present there are two kinds of feasible solution, and have been mature in technology."He Guili said, a way of antenna is installed outside the engine room, make contact with the ground station by satellite;The other is a construction base stations along the route, the air emission signal, realize communication on board.
