Don't have my WWAN set-up yet, but in OS-X, is the WWAN RF system disabled when disconnected, and thus flight safe?

I'd have assumed so, as it would save power anyway, but want to check before I fly with my Mini with WWAN.

I know that GSM 2G and 3G is, in reality, unlikely to cause any issues with in-flight avionics - but I also like to comply with legislation... I particularly dislike people with an "I know better" attitude in such sitations.

Hi,

I'm assuming you have enjoyed your flight by now...
but if you really want to make it safe you could always use a terminal and talk to the wwan card and set AT*CFUN=0 and thus disabling the card till reboot...
I know on my machine the card power on in CFUN=4 which is card active but all radios down, and it needs to be turned on (CFUN=1) either by the network manager tool in windows or the dial script / gps script in OSX / linux....

I hope this helps
