Gentlemen,

As a mere ex RAF Winchman, may I ask a question that has been asked of myself several times since this incident?

We are always told (as SLF) that we must switch off all electronic items in the cabin prior to take off and landing ie Phones, Laptops etc. And we all know that just prior to landing, all the numpties get their phones out and switch them back on!!

1. Is it possible that some kind of interference from a phone(s) could be the 'cause' ?
2. What aircraft systems DO mobile phones interfere with?

An outstanding job by all of the crew last week, well done to you all.

Kind regards
