About Electronics on planes.

I am going on a A380 in june and was wondering is it possible to take a Portable IKASU DVD player on it?

Just wondering because I want to take it and watch all the family guys ^^

Yes. You can use all kinds of electronics on planes, from MP3 players to like you mentioned, portable DVD players, as well as laptop computers. Some aircrafts have internet access.

[N!ck]

Yes you can but they'd rather you didn't have any wirelessly interfering devices like mobile phones turned on.

Just don't use it on takeoff or landing

Why is it that on take off and landing electronic devices cannot be used?

[Yoshimitsui]

It is said that it " could " interfear with the aircrafts equipment such as the navigation etc.. But a certain device could be built into a games player that sends certain wi-fi signals and interacts with the planes system. It's highly unlikely but it's a safety precaution like all others.

On another note, takeoff and landing is the most dangerous part of any flight if something where to go wrong.

So when you crash you dont end up with an ipod lodged ipod your nostril or a dvd player in your brain

They say it is so it dont interfeer with the equitment. There is a small chance it would but it is more that if they have a emergancy they dont want you to be distracted from warning signals by mobile phones ect.

[Niall!]

Yes, it's fine just don't bring any snakes!

Because thats the crucial time when they need the radio and any interference could cause major disruption to every aircraft in that area.
