Title: Airlines told to change cockpit screens in Boeing planes
Post by: Anmer on October 01, 2014, 03:15:22 PM
Airlines have been ordered to replace or modify the cockpit display units fitted to hundreds of Boeing jets.

The US air safety regulator said that tests had indicated that mobile phone and computer signals could cause the screens to go blank.

The affected planes are typically fitted with several screens, each of which costs thousands of pounds.
