Hi,
I experienced a mobile phone incident during my first Helicopter Flight Test for my PPL (H) in an R22.
The examiner answered his mobile whilst I was flying, and when he was finished with the call he placed it down in front of his seat.
He used this opportunity to pull various circuit breakers thus testing my responses to various warning lights coming on and off.
(I passed by the way).
I am now always suspicious of examiners placing things in front of their seats, and make a point of ensuring their mobiles are off before the flight.
I notice when I have left my mobile on by the dit dit dit in the headphones, but can't say if any of the instruments have been affected.
