[b]Have you ever wonder why flight-attendants always advice passengers boarding Air flight to activate airplane mode on their smartphones?

In this write up, I will try and pull all the resources at my disposal in order to satisfy your curiosity as regard this compelling concern. Although there are divergent views on this topic, as majority of people are still not well grounded as to why your smartphones has to be place on airplane mode during flight.

The reasons for this could be two sided, which are both intrinsic and extrinsic concerns. The intrinsic part of it is that if airplane mode is not activated during flight, your smartphone constantly searches for signal throughout the flight duration thereby causing a significant battery drain. On the extrinsic part lies the possibility of creating a sort of interference in the airplane navigation apparatus.

The major one of these two still remain the extrinsic part; concerns arising from airplane safety.

Although there are no plane crashes attributed to Portable Electronic Devices (PEDs) such as smartphones and others but this age-long commandment still commands obedience and faithfulness from all and sundry. This is so because precautionary measures has to been taken against any possible intruding foes capable of initiating aviation mishaps.[/b]

Why Airplane mode?

[b]Airplane mode help to disable cellular signal capability. By this the phone is unable to initiate connection to a cell tower;
although Wi-Fi feature could still be used while in airplane mode in some smartphones, others completely disable any form of wireless connectivity.

Smartphones and other electronic devices usually emits radio frequency that can cause interference in other electronic devices around. To prevent these frequency from interfering with the airplane functionality, airplane mode has to be activated

Also airplane on the other hand are as well equipped with electronic apparatus and components that are required during flights.

Smartphones with network signal are capable of creating a favorable atmosphere for Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) to thrive. This scenario is capable of disrupting ground-pilot communication during which vital information necessary for landing and take-off are been passed across to the pilot. This is so because aircraft are mostly vulnerable during landing and take-off.

The navigation equipment located within the cock pit could be derailed by these radio frequency emitted by PEDs. Also these radio signals are responsible for the annoying sounds generated by audio system within the aircraft.

[b]There were some reports that the navigation needles began to jump uncontrollably after exposure to RFI, although this was only noticed in older aircraft where electronic shielding is a bit substandard and inefficient as against modern aircraft.

Due to advancement in technology, modern aircraft now have some level of immunity against these radio frequency; because they have been shielded against such signals, but this is not absolute in practice.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) still ensure that Airline Operators uphold this rule in their operations as a safety measure in the aviation sector. Although no single plane crash has ever been attributed to RFI, passengers still have to abide by this rule since all these are been put in place just for their own safety.

Definitely, it will be a wise idea to simply obey the rule of someone piloting and ensuring your safety at thousands of feet away from the ground.

Some modern aircraft with built in Wi-Fi capability do allow passengers to make use of this feature while in airplane mode because Wi-Fi radio impression on electronic devices is considerably negligible as compared to cell tower signals such as 2G/3G/4G with greater effects.

When else you are boarding a flight, simply obey this rule by activating airplane mode on your smartphone and also turn off other electronic devices in your possession capable of emitting radio signals; you never can tell as you might just be warding off aviation mishap within your capacity.[/b]

Very funny

Propanet

But those air peace ppl will be telling someone to completely switch off their phone, is it because we are using economy class?

I argued with the air hostess that that's y airplane mode is On phones, she said her boss told them to ensure all phones are switched off, me that wanted to watch some downloaded series during the flight
