A picocell in an aircraft for the wireless transmission of data between at least a mobile station in the aircraft and a base station in the aircraft in which a communications connection between the at least one mobile station in the aircraft and a subscriber in a terrestrial communications network is established via the base station. In order to enable passengers automatically the use of their mobile radio devices, when no risk of danger to the flying operation is to be expected, or otherwise to refer them to a corresponding ban, a flight control device is provided for detecting flight data and for setting up the picocell in dependence on the flight data.
