Does anyone ever put their phone in airplane mode when landing? I never do because I love the rush of living dangerously

You know how phones used to make that weird loud interference clicking noise if they were next to a speaker? That's what phones do to pilot's headsets when they're trying to land the plane that you're riding in.

So you're just a jerk?

So I’m a pilot (expensive hobby), and it’s not headset interference that’s an issue. On a clear day with no clouds, it’s also generally fine and unlikely to cause any harm as pilots are flying visually down to the runway

Where it can get you is in low cloud ceilings and crappy weather where the plane relies on an ILS or VOR (50+ year old radio tech) to guide the plane to 200’ above the runway pilots can’t see, as opposed to a mountain or building a few degrees in either directions n. Sure, the wiring is shielded and it would need be a perfect storm of interference and ringing phones, but why chance it?

Once you’re through the clouds and over the runway it’s fine, unless your pilot has to go around and re-enter the clouds...

I have to believe that if there was ACTUALLY a concern they’d never allow phones on planes at all.

I guess I don’t live on the edge. I put it in airplane mode the whole flight.

But seriously who does? I never do

I only do it if the flight was bumpy

Oh well. Still doing it! 🤣

I guess I just don’t really buy that it’s truly a threat because if they’re taking my toothpaste away then if my phone was an actual concern I’d never be allowed to have it

@W+K1 i heard that it's not an issue these days given modern cellphone technologies and advancing aviation systems

My husband has a tendency of always shutting me down in discussions. I don’t know why, but his ingoing position is that I must be clueless regarding whatever topic we are discussing.
