Abstract
A method and apparatus is provided for sensing a given situation such as the presence of operational aircraft for deactivation, or other modification, of a device such as wireless communication circuitry signal transmission circuitry while in the presence of the operational aircraft. The sensing of a situation may be by the presence of a predetermined signal, the arrival at a given location, a measurable change in air pressure and so forth. The sensor circuitry, upon detecting conditions suggestive of operational aircraft, operates to activate, deactivate or otherwise modify the performance of a device while in the presence or immediate vicinity of aircraft or other predetermined situation.
