What happens if the phone does not transfer airplane mode when flying?

Many people mistakenly believe that phone waves can cause an accident, but it is not the fact that passengers are required to turn off their phones or set airplane mode when flying.

When flying, passengers are constantly required by the crew to set "airplane mode" mode. But what if we don't do that?

Most commercial flights do not allow passengers to call or text while flying due to safety concerns or the comfort of all passengers. This is explained by the frequency of radios emitted from mobile phones that may interfere with the electrical system on the aircraft.

However, passengers are allowed to use electronic devices, including mobile phones and tablets during the rest of the flight, as long as they ensure their device is set to "airplane mode".

In fact, there is no concrete evidence that the phone wave interferes with the aircraft's system function, causing an accident. Experts also claim that new mobile devices are completely safe. However, it creates unpleasant sounds that affect pilots and air traffic controllers.

This is similar to a radio station being shy when placed next to a mobile phone calling or texting. Therefore, if this effect persists, the crew may miss the radio call from the flight controller. The worst case recorded is that this wave makes the locator jump continuously during a flight.

Normally, passengers do not hear the noise when the aircraft system is affected by phone waves. The reason is that this rarely happens, about 2 - 3% of the number of flights. In addition, distance is the determining factor for strong or weak interference. So most of these cases are caused by the crew members' cell phones, as they sit close to the location of the most radio communication system.

However, this interference is not as dangerous as people often think, it only makes the radio frequency of the aircraft locked for a few seconds. The pilots are very well trained to handle problems that occur immediately when taking off, such as fire, flight control systems or loss of communication tools . so interference is not a problem Large affect the safety of flights.

However, according to aviation security agencies' recommendations, when you are required to switch phone mode, follow the flight attendant's instructions.
