When you travel on a flight, before the commencement of the journey, you are given some guidelines by the flight attendant.

You must have also seen in the phone that the phone has a flight mode function. This disconnects your phone from the network. But, do you know why you are told this while traveling on a flight? What will happen if no one does? Learn all about flight mode in World of Airplanes in this series...

What is flight mode?

Flight mode is an option. In which your phone remains out of the network i.e. the phone does not even switch off and works like a switch off. After turning it on, you can use the phone. But cannot access the network. Due to this, the internet cannot work on your phone and you cannot talk to anyone on the call. However, even after you turn on Airplane mode, you can still use local apps, videos, music, and more on your smartphone.

You can also use WiFi and Bluetooth on some devices. In-flight people often use the Wi-Fi provided for passengers. At such times, this special feature especially works in flight. Which keeps your phone out of network.

What happens if the flight mode doesn't turn on?

If you don't turn on flight mode, this can cause problems. If the phone is not in flight mode, it will cause trouble to the pilot flying the aircraft. Keeping a mobile connection on during flight can affect the aircraft's signal system, which can disturb the pilot.

Pilots are always in touch with the radar and control room during flight. But, if the phone remains on and they are not able to receive the notifications clearly then they face problems. If the phone continues to power on, there is a problem with their connection. If your mobile or laptop is on during the flight, it interferes with the radio frequency received by the pilot. Please tell that many people find it very difficult to do this in flight. So whenever you travel on a flight, keep your phone on flight mode.
