What would actually happen if...

[Sunny.]

you kept your mobile phone on in a plane?

You know how they tell you to turn your mobile phones off or just turn them to flight mode. But if you dont turn them off can anything major happen.

I think its more a precaution, like hospitals never used to let patients use there mobile phones in the building in case it made another machine give weird readings, but now most hospitals allow you to use your phone.

I imagine they don't like you using phones in planes in case it causes inaccurate readings for the pilots, im not sure if its still a problem though

There isn't any evidence, just claims, so in 1991 i believe, the FAA baned the use of mobiles on aeroplanes.

I would imagine, incase, it interfere's with communication and navigation radar signals. As it could distort the radar signal, which could be bad, if it blocks the navigation signal, espeically in bad weather.

You die of crashing into the ground

Mine was on once by mistake, the only time I've ever flown I had my phone on by mistake, meant to turn it off lolz.

Nothing will happen really, i have done it many a time! It is just a precaution taken and is a rule of the airline that they request people to turn them off as it could possibly interfere with navigation. But if you think about it they only request and do not check to see if people turn phones off as it is not a definite problem that could occur.

I think it interupts the calls from there walkie talkie things, Imagine if u had to take a crash landing, then you phone somebody and they hear you talking about loose women or something,

" You have to take a 15 degrees turn and land at the airport to your left and also dont forget to-"
" I know loose women was fabulous, i cant waiti for tomorrow's "

- CRASH -


The end

Nothing will happen, they just tell you that cus they dont want it going off when your in the air.

Because they don't want yapping people disrupting the other passengers.

I've known people to leave them on. Nothing happens. On some networks it is incredibly rare to even get a signal. It's a precaution none-the-less.

[James!]

Don't airplanes have phones on them anyways?
