Are not personal electronic devices such as iPods known to cause commercial aircraft to fall from the skies (at take off and landing at least...)? I am warned of this dire risk each time I fly... If they can do this to something as big as a Jumbo jet where the ipod is maybe 200' from the cockpit avionics - it is bound to be catastrophic in a light aircraft! Or maybe listening to an iPod on a plane is not dangerous after all...? Hmm I wonder. Sounds like a terrible idea!
