You do realize that planes are flown via computers and not via cables that link the yoke to the rudder and ailerons. Hasn't been that way for years. Not to mention all the various sensors that they have on the plane..

There is a difference between being 20 ft away from the circuits and wiring and instrumentation in a plane and being several thousand feet. And if you looked around at the airports, you'd know that there is a buffer zone between them and most things that could emit interference.
You're just grabbing at straws because you painted yourself into an unsupportable stance. |
