- The blanket policy DEFINITELY applies to ANY instrument that broadcasts, such
- a Cellular, transceivers, etc - my neighbor is an AA pilot & says that
- that is a FAA rule.
-
- The use of equipment that is not intended to broadcast, but that does have
- some spurious RF emissions is subject to the pilots discretion.
-
- The WORST place to use a scanner in a plane is over the wing area - apparently
- that is where all the navigational equipment & sensors are.
