Yep, inverse-square, the pilot's subjecting the equipment to a lot more!

That's an over-simplification in many ways:
- Power is inverse-square, field strength is inverse-linear.
- Inverse square applies to fee space - a plane is a metal tube with all sorts of different impedances. Assuming that radio waves will propagate as per free space is not justified.
- You're assuming all the EM sensitive areas are near the pilot!
