Why aren’t we allowed to use our phones on airplanes?

381 views

I’m not talking about playing games or watching stuff on flight mode, I’m talking about making calls and texting or using mobile data.

As a kid my parents told me that it interfered with the pilot and they couldn’t see but I realised that’s the same reason they don’t like the overhead light in the car.

There was some early suspicions that it might interphere with aircraft systems, but that proved to be a non-issue.

What is a problem, though, is that when a phone is high up, it will reach many base station, and it’ll be moving fast, so it’ll have to switch stations often. This cause problems/load in the phone network.
