 AA> Hello pilots ..
 Firstly I must mention that I'm not a pilot.
 
 AA> I'm not an aviation guy and never studied or read about Aviations
 AA> except in this echo ..
 Same goes for me.
 
 AA> Now I just want to verify some informations that was told to me by
 AA> someone who works as an Aircraft Mechanic ..
 AA> I asked him about the danger of the use of Mobile Phones aboard
 AA> commercial aircrafts and he told me that .. the fuel injection system
 AA> to the jet engines recieves the commands from the cockpit via
 AA> electronic signal with certain frequency .. and the mobile can
 AA> intrrupt this electronic signal and therefore upset/changes the
 AA> magnitude of the command-frequency and may cause the engine to shutdown
 AA> .. 
 AA> I thought this is not accurate or true in any case ..
 
 Like your good self I don't believe that the engines are controlled via
 radio waves in anyway what so ever.
 The very idea of such stupidity makes me shudder.
 If on the other hand I'm wrong, which wouldn't be the first time and they
 are controlled via radio waves the link would be via more than one coaxial
 cable.
 This is a cable with a single conductor in it's center and protected from
 external interference by a metal sheath around it.
