They might be hinting about the issues that the Honeywell displays in the cockpit of some Boeing airliners supposedly have issues with WiFi interference. Complaining about the GoPro because of the WiFi is a stretch.

Also, some newer airliners including the 787 use WiFi for the dispatcher datalink at the gate.
Edit: The WiFi issues with the display is overstated.
- aosmith 12y agoThis is just a giant rumor... Honeywell isn't making (for a plane or not) anything that can't hold up to wifi. The EM interference at altitude makes wifi look like a joke.
- neurotech1 12y agoThe FAA directive is real. The "issue" is based on lab tests, and I haven't heard of WiFi causing a display to go blank in flight.
- aosmith 12y agoI talked on a cell phone in a cirrus with a glass cockpit, guess what happened? Nothing. I've also done the same with streaming music. If the displays stopped working because of wifi they would always be left trying to navigate taxiways without them... And that would be a very real problem.
