What happens if you don't turn your cell phone off on a plane—is it really dangerous or are the risks overstated?
Cell phone use on planes has been heavily debated as the airline industry attempts to keep up with ever-changing technology. It’s standard practice to be told by flight attendants to switch devices to airplane mode during transit; but what happens if you don’t follow directions? Unfortunately, the answer isn't that clear.
. "That's not really the issue. The issue is interfering with the airplane and causing more work for the pilots during critical phases of flight. When they take off and when they land, those are phases of flight that require a high level of concentration by the pilots." Many airlines have gone through this assessment and actually allow in-flight calls to be made through onboard cellular network companies like AeroMobile and On Air. Those companies serve major airlines like Emirates, Virgin, British Airways, and at least 27 others. On Air actually connects more than half the world’s A380 fleet.
“More modern electronics are shielded from interruptions,” Allison Markey, an aviation safety professional told us. “There is no magic gauge in the cockpit that shows that there is a phone with its cellular connection or Wi-Fi not turned off.” The FCC agrees about this technology, but still remains unclear as to when, how or if it will be allowed.
