US Reaper Drones Over Syria

By Loud

The skies of Syria are becoming somewhat crowded.

The country is in the midst of a long running civil war, while the brutal dictatorship of Bashar al-Assad tries to fight a large number of varied rebel factions. This of course includes radical militants and ISIS.

The war isn’t very well for anyone and its pulled in foreign states as well. In Eastern Syria, a Western coalition (including the USA) is launching attacks against ISIS. Russia also recently became involves and sent its military to support the Assad regime, and the Russians have been carrying out airstrikes as well. The skies are increasingly congested, and so this happens:

That is a US Airforce MQ-9 Reaper drone used by the United States in carrying out targeted assasinations.

This short video was uploaded to YouTube by the Russian Defense Ministry and was taken from the interior of a Russian jets cockpit. The video is captioned:

“The presence of aerial vehicles in the air space of Syria has increased.”

So now the main regulatory agencies in the US, Canada, and Europe permit the use of electronics during takeoff and landing. This is referred to as “gate-to-gate” device use. So you may be able to use your device during your entire flight.

If you’ve ever been asked by a strict Lufthansa stewardess to pack away your iPad or laptop during a flight, you’ll be pleased to hear that those terrible days are in the past.

Airline Specific Regulations

However each airline is permitted to set its own internal rules. The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) don’t  set rules that can apply to all air carriers. They permit each airline to choose to embrace this revision. Airlines want to keep their passengers satisfied, so they’re generally allowing gate-to-gate device use. Not all carriers have accepted the change so some carriers won’t allow this useage on-board.

Portable Devices and Larger Devices

There are various rules for your small portable devices as well as larger computers. Essentially, any device the size of an iPad or smaller fits this bill.

These smaller devices can be used during takeoff and landing as long as you hold them.

Laptops aren’t included in this update. These need to be  stowed during take-off and landing. You can still use the laptop during the flight.

Airplane Mode

Any devices do need to be in airplane mode.

The FCC is considering permitting cellular connectivity above 10,000 feet.

Here’s an insane tidbit in Popular Science. There are approximately 500,000  “smaller orbital junk” as well as 21,000 “larger pieces” racing around Earth at this moment. Numbers such as those make it seem that there are many bags full of trash orbiting the planet, and that’s not really far wrong. Everything from old satellites to rockets are currently orbiting the planet…you can also view it in real-time. “Stuff in Space” is a 3D […]
