Everytime you fly, you will be reminded to turn off your phone. Let’s find out the reason in the post below!
- Mobile phone can cause interference for the electromagnetic spectrum. Airplane is equipped with a bunch of electronic devices, which creates smooth communication between pilots, airplane and ground department, navigation and management of other electronic devices. Especially during take-off and landing, crew should have focused interaction with Air Traffic Control. Thus, remember to turn off your phone!
- In-flight ban on mobile phone also to avoid damages if the airplane enters the terrible weather zone. Moreover, passengers can focus on following the safety rules and crew should not be disturbed.
- Turning off your phone, ground networks can avoid being disturbed. When people make a phone call at the height of 10,000 ft, signals will be transmitted through different network cells. If many people make phone call at the same time, ground networks will be disrupted. Kindly switch to Airplane Mode when being on the airplane. At the height of 30,000ft (~9144m), you will not receive the mobile phone signals. Keeping searching for signals will also drain your phone energy.
