In 2013, a number of States began allowing an expanded use of certain portable electronic devices (PEDs) by passengers. “Expanded use of PEDs” refers to the use of devices across all phases of flight, including during critical phases. As a result of this development, other States are considering amending existing regulations to accommodate the expanded use of PEDs across all phases of flight. The content of this document was developed through a process of consensus, with inputs from experts from civil aviation authorities, airlines, aircraft manufacturers, training organizations, as well as airline and cabin crew representative organizations and was thereafter submitted for an extensive peer review to collect and take into account comments from the expert community. ICAO gratefully acknowledges the contribution received from the ICAO Cabin Safety Group (ICSG) and subject matter experts from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
