In the boring process of airplane flight, many people want to pass these time through some simple entertainment activities. Can we play iPad on the plane? What is the use of airplane flight mode?
However, the conclusions of experts from different countries are not consistent. In China, for safety reasons, airlines still do not allow passengers to use electronic equipment when taking off and landing. Some air traffic control experts believe that passengers are prohibited from using electronic equipment during takeoff and landing because the 'flight mode' of such equipment has no evidence that it will not interfere with flight safety. Because, as long as the mobile phone is on, there will still be radio signals, electromagnetic waves and radiation.
It is understood that at present, the common practice of large international airlines is that during flight, mobile phones, tablet computers (iPad, Kindle, etc.) can be used throughout the flight (only in flight mode). Some relatively large electronic devices, such as laptop computers, notebook computers, etc., must be placed in or in front of the overhead luggage compartment when the aircraft taxies, takes off, approaches the ground and lands Under the square seat.
Korean Airlines said that it should be noted that even if the equipment has been adjusted to the 'flight mode', passengers are still forbidden to make voice calls throughout the flight and in certain circumstances, the flight attendants have the right to restrict passengers to use portable electronic equipment in the flight, such as the aircraft landing in visibility environment, or the equipment has affected the aircraft's navigation system, etc. In these cases, flight attendants can ask passengers to turn off their equipment immediately.
What is the meaning of flight mode on mobile phone?
Flight mode, as the name implies, is used in the special circumstances of flying. It turns off the signal transmission of the mobile phone, while the mobile phone itself is on. Later, some software authors realized super flight and continuous super flight according to this function. However, special attention should be paid to the fact that according to the relevant laws and regulations of civil aviation of China, all flights must be shut down and no mobile phone or radio transceiver including flight mode should be used. That is to say, although the mobile phone is designed with "flight mode", it can't be used in the actual passenger flight. Globally, only a few international airlines except China have similar regulations. Some international airlines will also provide WiFi for mobile phones of passengers on board.
