About 10 years ago I was flying a Twin Squirrel on a Public Transport flight with a prominent MP on board. We were over his home turf and he asked me if he could use his mobile to speak to his wife. Always keen to keep my pax happy I said, "Strictly speaking you shouldn't but if I'm looking the other way I won't see you will I!"
Watching out of the corner of my eye he dialled the number and pressed send, at which point 3 warning lights illuminated on the CWP
. I forget which 3 they were but I remember they were unrelated to each other, to the extent that even the cruelest of TRE's wouldn't have dreamt of combining them as a scenario on an OPC.
Nowadays I work for a Police ASU with a digital communications system which to date does not appeared to have interfered with the aircraft systems. What it's doing to my systems and those of the observers on board is another matter however!!
