Whoever still turns their phone off or puts it on airplane mode when flying, don't trust them. They're the ones who do what they're told without question.

I remember when I was 18, flying from GVA to LDN I was sending SMS whilst the plane was taxiing for takeoff, I was threatened by a woman sitting next to me that I might put everyone's life in danger if I don't turn off my phone.

Do I sound to you like someone who listens to randos on a plane? These people are still living under rules from outdated data dating back to the 1960s.

*Ok, ok, If you do it to conserve battery, you are forgiven.

I leave it on too. Those GMs won’t send themselves 🀣🀣🀣

πŸ˜‚ The best reason why

How did the conversation with the woman resolve?

None necessary. I ignored her.

Awkward flight 😬

I wanted to zap this πŸ”₯ post but I can’t πŸ˜₯. Your wallet isn’t set up?

I'm in a *only sending zaps* diet. πŸ™‚πŸ«

They didnt have cell phones in the 60’s πŸ€”

Precisely. It was meant for the radio frequencies that only work on the ground.

During takeoff everyone should be paying attention and not on their phones. Its a safety issue. If you need to evcuate in case of an incident

Me casuly watching stuff on my media server back home in flight. >.>

There is no bad time to do that. πŸ˜„

My daughters Father-in-law is an airline pilot. He flew spy planes for the air force. He said commercial airplanes have systems and redundancies that are very robust. A little handheld device is not going to disrupt the instrumentation. Putting phone in airplane mode or turning it off is a plecebo and more about passenger compliance.

Same applies to the stupid hospital rules.

I refuse to put my phone into airplane mode until I can't get a signal anymore and only do it to save battery lol.

Same for me. I keep it on, until I can no longer connect. Then, I turn my phone off to save battery for when we land.

If I'm flying international, I put my phone on airplane mode to avoid roaming fees while I'm there.

Some prick at a gas station in the early 2000s turned the pump off because I was talking on a cell phone. This makes complete sense because of all the gas stations that were constantly exploding back then.

I have seen the charge from an incoming call set off an electronic fuse. That being said it was staged and the end of the wires were on either side of the phone and it was the incoming call only.

Now i used these electronic fuses for fireworks so i don’t think theres much in a plane that could be that sensitive way back in the fuselage. As for the gas station Cheese you could have had a freak gas fight accident good thing someone was quick thinking lol

Those fuses sound sensitive. I'd be terrified of static if it can pop from a phone's RF.

Think of it as an electric match. You dont put your head over a gun, loaded or unloaded. I still have all my fingers and eyebrows but you learn to respect explosives

Lol, when i am cremated i am getting put into one then launched at the funeral

Oooo this is what I want!! If I can't be a shooting star, this will work πŸŽ†

OMFG I can't believe this is actually a thing!!! We can put a creepy picture on the side with some witty remarks.

Make sure all that are present sign the shell for last messages

Wait, so was I right?

By airplane mode I assumed you meant Foreflight open, flight plan loaded and log recording.

I did my private w/o IPHONE/GPS, but I can’t taxis to the end of 27 at KVPZ without one now.

Plus my plane doesn’t have a Hobbs and I don’t wear a wrist watch so my time gets logged from ForeFlight or FlightAware.

Most commercial pilots run foreflight and would get lost without it.

I meant airplane mode setting on your mobile.

According to nostr, it’s not the plane crashing that you should kill the RF - it’s the milliwatts of energy mutating you into the toxic avenger in real-time.

The only way to protect yourself is to go full Luddite.

So it goes.

i turn it off sometimes even when im not on a plane. any excuse will do.

Every since I began using a Faraday bag, it has been the way to go.

yes!

i found Faraday cloth somewhere. maybe amazon.

i made faraday bags for all the things. made faraday christmas gifts even πŸ€“
