After discovering a potentially dangerous RFinterference problem that affects nearly 1,300 commercial aircraft, the FAA recently issued a mandate requiring airlines to replace all vulnerable phase 3 cockpit flight displays. With an estimated cost of $13 million, many companies are wondering what could have been done to prevent this issue. While it may be impossible to determine what happened in this specific instance, it does reinforce the importance of having an integrated EMI shielding solution for mission-critical electronics. Leader Tech engineers are commonly asked to develop EMI solutions that include various board, enclosure and even cable shielding components.
