Whenever you go on a trip, you must choose a vehicle according to your needs. Many people prefer to travel by bus, while many people prefer to travel by train. While many people consider their vehicle (two-wheeler or four-wheeler) perfect for travel. But sometimes people have to travel by air too. If you have to travel by plane, then many rules have to be followed. One of these rules is that passengers have to keep their mobile phones in airplane mode while traveling by plane. It is mandatory for everyone, but have you ever thought about why it is done and what will happen if someone does not do it? So let's try to know the answers to these questions. You can learn about this in the next slides...
You must have seen that there is an option for flight mode in the settings of your mobile. As soon as you turn it on, neither calls can be made nor calls can be received from your mobile. Also, your internet stops working.
That's why it is necessary to turn on the flight mode
On the other hand, when you travel by plane, you are informed as soon as you sit in it that please put your mobile in flight mode. But if you don't, it could interfere with the plane's navigation and communication systems.
The plane may go astray
On the other hand, if you do not turn on airplane mode, then the pilot may have to face many problems during the journey. The mobile signal can also disturb the communication system of the aircraft, due to which the pilot may have difficulty in contacting the ATC tower and this may cause the aircraft to deviate from the path and this may lead to an accident.
That's why whenever you travel by plane, make sure to put your mobile in flight mode. On the other hand, if you turn on the flight mode while traveling in the plane, then in many countries it is considered a crime. There is also a provision for severe punishment if caught.
