TurningOff YourPhone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible
interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation

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.
TurningOff Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your phone when
in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating that two-way
radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control
RF devices to set off explosives.
