The A380 has a pretty large recorder in the ceiling. Airbus A380 - cockpit | p a n o r e p o r t a g e | g i l l e s v i d a l
Some of the 145s I fly have closed circuit systems in them and I don't recall any special GOM provisions about turning it off.

On several airplanes I have flown a cell phone in the cockpit or in the right place in the cabin causes noticeable interference on the VHF comm radios...it's not implausible that it could also degrade a LOC which is on the adjacent frequency range to comms. Who knows what else could be effected. Is it going to cause the explosive bolts on the wings to fire, dooming the airplane? No. But it might create an unneeded distraction at the wrong moment.
Also an analog cell phone (still used in some less-populated areas of the US) in the back seat row will set off the cargo smoke detector in a CRJ 200...that's an automatic blow the bottles and land at nearest suitable...$$$$$$$

Give me a break their are more important things going on in this industry then worrying about us taking pictures during takeoff and landings. If we followed the rules to a T we would never leave the ground, just keep your pictures and videos to yourself.

Many on here think they are owed some amount of "respect" because of their chosen profession. However, when one reads a thread like this one sees a bunch of people griping over the feds cracking down on them taking videos of themselves flying. And you wonder why you're looked down upon by those of us at the majors.
This is a career and not some after-school job. When many of you refer to your peers as a "tool" because they follow the rules, that doesn't say much about your level of professionalism. In fact, it further reinforces the stereotype that many of you at the commuters/regionals are nothing more than a bunch of young punks with shiny-jet syndrome.
Why do you need to film yourselves in the first place? Do you honestly think that people are impressed because you fly an RJ?

Has anyone noticed that this type of thread always shows up in only place - the regional boards?? Has anyone noticed that a thread such as this never appears on the major boards?
