The cell phone on the plane, should it really be turned off? I recently saw a video of a user who, flying over the beautiful New York sky, took a long shot from the plane, secretly, as well specified in the text of the post. Now, this has somewhat unsettled me and allowed me to do a
I realize that often i opinions are divided among those who keep the phone on until the last second before departure and who turn it on even before the aircraft doors are opened, contrary to what is required by flight hostess and those who turn it off even before getting on board, right before getting on the plane eh. Matter of anxiety, you say, a matter of respect for the rules. As always I think that if there are rules, obviously there must also be a reason why it is good to respect them. Although many rules are old, very old, others remain in use and for reason, even after years and years since they were enacted. So let's find out if these rules are still valid or not.
Il mobile phone on the plane must be turned off because it is harmful to flight safety, the problem is the interference that it could create with the pilot's instrumentation, particularly in the take-off and landing phase. This would explain why you can keep the phone on, in airplane mode only during the cruise phase of the plane, among other things.
The real question, given that so many planes have recently introduced the fly and surf with wifi, it is if turning on even just by mistake, or by stunt, these phones can be really harmful for passengers and for the success of the flight.
La Federal Aviation Administration defends the ban, citing possible interference with the communication of aircraft and navigation systems and also recommends airlines to ensure that passengers turn off all electronic devices under 10.000 feet.
Experts say that turning on the phone in flight, to talk or text, runs a minimal risk, but do you want to take the risk yourself? It is also true that the FAA has said it is not aware of any aircraft crashes related to interference from personal electronic devices. It is also true, however, that a 2003 research done by Carnegie Mellon University would have found some connections between the use of devices in flight and some plane crashes. THE opinions are conflicting.
In short, scholars and researches do not have the same thinking, or rather, they are not yet aligned on the causes or not of the devices. What to do then? Following the rules has never hurt, on the contrary, in this case since it would not be just you but another hundred passengers taking the risk, my advice is: do it at least for them, turn off the phone and take pictures on arrival, not on the plane! If you feel like flying and going to the other side of the world, keeping your phone strictly off, take a look at Expedia low cost flights.
