Remember that your faulty headphones are inside a big faraday cage, and the nav antennas are outside.

I am not sure how much effect this has, but it's something to keep in mind.

Are airplanes really that effective as faraday cages? If they were, it wouldn't be possible to use a cellphone inside one at all, and this wouldn't have been a debate to begin with.
