Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To
prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require
you to have permission from a crew member to use your
phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any
risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your
phone while the plane is in the air.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your
phone off when in a blasting area or in other areas with
signs indicating two-way radios should be turned off.
Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to
set off explosives. Turn your phone off when you’re in any
area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although
it’s rare, your phone and accessories could generate
sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in
bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include:
•
Fueling areas such as gas stations.
•
Below deck on boats.
•
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
•
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles
such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
•
Any other area where you would normally be advised
to turn off your vehicle’s engine.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable
liquids, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle
that contains your phone or accessories.
