"Investigations into refuelling fires in the USA conducted by the Petroleum Equipment Institute concluded that, rather than mobile phone radiation, 90 percent of them involved static electricity discharges of some type. In the remaining 10 percent the cause was inconclusive.

The research concluded that while there is theoretically a very slight possibility of a spark being produced by the battery in a mobile phone, the likelihood of a phone-induced fire was negligible."

Back to the topic ...

I met Sean once, many years ago, and have a relative flying aircraft with similar seats, so am interested in the outcomes here.

I've read the thread, and hope I haven't missed this, but is there a timeframe for publishing the coroner's report? A week / month / 6 months?

thanks
