Even if you’ve never been on an airplane, you’ve probably heard the importance of turning your phone off or putting it on airplane mode during the flight. Considering phones now all have the mode as mandatory setting, there’s no denying that it’s necessary.
However, while we all know that we should be disabling the signals on our phones during our flights, many don’t know exactly why. There are many myths that circulate that it can disrupt the aircraft’s operating system or cause the plane to crash.
‘You may have heard that unpleasant noise from an audio system, that occasionally happens when a mobile phone is nearby,’ The pilot wrote. ‘I actually hear such noise on the radio while flying. It’s not safety critical, but is annoying for sure.’
Another person added, ‘It makes a bzzzt-bzzzt-bzzzt-bzzt-bzzt. Now imagine that noise in the pilot’s headphones, while [he or she] is receiving a critical bit of information from ground control!’
So maybe you won’t send the airplane crashing to the ground if your phone isn’t on airplane mode, but really the last thing you want to do is annoy the person flying the aircraft that you’re on.
