Monday followed the European Aviation Authorities (EASA) for their U.S. counterparts to ease up on the ban on use of electronic media during the entire flight, writes AFP.
Initially, this means that electronic equipment in “flight mode” can be used from the plains to the land.
– It’s kind of funny that we managed to be so fast there, two and a half days after EASA approved the use of electronic devices on board says Sandstø.
– Use the phone wit
Many aviation believes it is only a matter of time before calls are common on board the aircraft.
SAS has already telephony 4-5 of their aircraft.
– Many people need to take a quick phone call while flying, and then apply the same phone wit rules on the ground, says Johansen.
– Sound is easily absorbed in the cabin, and so far we have not received complaints of loud passengers, says SAS spokesman.
Widerøe positive
For heavier equipment such as PC’s, they will still be prohibited for use during taxi, take-off, approach and landing – due to the danger that they can be thrown around the cabin at unexpected movements in the plane, said Sandstø.
He stressed that special situations will always be cabin crew instructions that apply. Upon landing in extremely poor visibility will for example not be allowed to use electronics.
Also Widerøe positive to the new rules.
– We have no principled objection to people rings in the planes, as long as it does not go beyond the safety and comfort of our passengers, answer Widerøes Communications Konsteien when VG ask about the company’s attitude to allow ringing from the aircraft seat.

- Security takes Bomba Rider (red aircraft manufacturer.’s Note) of, while the comfort, both we and the passengers take care of compared to when it is okay to talk on the phone and not, say Kongsteien.
Free Wi- Fi
Also Norwegian will look at how the new, softened regulations can be implemented with them:
– Where regulations allow, we will also look at how we can facilitate that passengers can use our free WiFi throughout the trip, said Chief Lasse Sandakerveien-Nielsen told VG Nett.
– When it comes to ringing from the air, so we have to see how it possibly could be resolved and what the new legislation actually does, he adds.
Airplane
Today, one can generally use different electronic devices on board the aircraft as long as the unit is in ” flight mode “but then not during takeoff and landing.
But now thus EASA green light for the use of electronic devices during the flight.
Up Airline
14 days ago it was announced that U.S. aviation authorities removed the restrictions on use of electronic media during the flight.
Now that EASA has done the same, it is up to each airline this country if they want to open up that passengers do not have to turn off the device during the flight.
– There are new guidelines and Norwegian airlines opportunities to let passengers have electronic equipment in operation during the entire trip. In practice, you do not have to turn off your tablet while in flight, but the unit must still be in flight mode, says Tor Iversen, communications director of the Civil Aviation Authority.
He emphasizes that it will not be able to use transmitter and receiver, as such as mobile phone.
Must follow sikkerhetsinnstruksene
– Passengers must – regardless of the new rules – deal with safety instructions to staff on board, says Iversen.
About the company wants to change its rules on the use of smart boards, mobile and computer on board, it must be reported to the CAA. So far they have not gotten any entries.
