New Mwybe I'm misreading it but...
...according to paragraph 5:
(5) Any other portable electronic device that the operator of the aircraft has determined will not cause interference with the navigation or communication system of the aircraft on which it is to be used. [emphasis mine]


You, being a newly registered pilot and all (Congrats, BTW!) might understand this gobbledegook better than I; however, doesn't "operator of the aircraft" mean United, AA, Delta, et al?

That paragraph only comes into effect if the operator (which I too read to be the carrier) specifically makes the assessment. If the carrier does not make that exclusion, the FAA rule is actively enforceable.

Thanks.

Yes, it means the airlines themselves (we won't get into fractionals and charter and stuff).

So they have to certify that your cell phone won't disrupt anything.

In all conditions, phases of flight (or which ones its restricted to), etc.
