[Music] ever wonder why you have to put your phone on airplane mode on flights while most people think it's because active cellphones could interfere with the planes navigation equipment yet the plane still lens safely you may have even been guilty of turning off cellular data mistakingly believing that you're in aeroplane mode but if planes aren't crashing because of phones why should you put your phone into airplane mode during your next flight just before you begin to task your brain make sure you watch this video to the end because that's exactly what I'm going to show you a few minutes from now so just hit the red button below this video to subscribe and the Bell button to get notified of new videos bye brilliance let's get into it okay now let's start with the biggest question what is airplane mode it's a mode that turns off the wireless functions of your smartphone or tablet when you turn this setting on usually by finding the plane icon and tapping it airplane mode turns off the cellular voice and data connection on your phone often it also disables Wi-Fi and Bluetooth so why put your phone on airplane mode during a flight by turning off your cellular service and Wi-Fi you make the device safe to use in an aeroplane as per federal regulations and airlines rules in the case of the iPhone at least Apple makes it pretty clear that airplane mode is there to enable users to comply with airline regulations as the radios inside your device could emit electromagnetic interference affecting the operation of the instruments and equipment on the plane and while this scant evidence that mobile phones can interfere with navigation equipment or with the performance of an aircraft the real reason airlines in the u.s. make you put your phone on airplane mode is because of the Federal Communications Commission FCC regulations ban the use of cell phones on planes to protect against radio interference to cell phone networks on the ground meaning at 40,000 feet in the air active cell phones would be picking up service from multiple cell towers on the ground this could crowd the network's on the ground and disrupt service however some international airlines have cell phone receivers installed on select planes so passengers on certain flights can call or text in the you can also connect to Wi-Fi on a lot of domestic flights so you can surf the web and send messages but most airlines restrict passengers for making calls over in-flight Wi-Fi are there other things you can do while in airplane mode I know how difficult it is getting shut from internet access and because airplane mode blocks your connection to cellular networks you won't be able to make phone calls send text messages tweet or use Facebook usually you won't be able to do anything that requires an internet connection because airplane mode will shut off your Wi-Fi connection however the Federal Aviation Administration the FAA updated his guidelines in 2013 to allow passengers to use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections so if your airline has Wi-Fi on its planes or you have Bluetooth devices that you want to use during your flight then you can still use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when your phone is in airplane mode you'll just have to switch them back on manually after turning on airplane mode using those capabilities you can connect to inflight Wi-Fi or use your favorite wireless headphones while the plane is in the air while it's never been proven that a mobile phone signal has interfered with the navigation performance of the aircraft just because it's never happened doesn't mean it will never happen so do everyone a favor by putting your phone to airplane mode and turn off anything you don't need to have on and your pilots who are responsible for getting you to your destination safely will thank you later and that's it in today's video if you like what you just watched give it a thumbs up subscribe and share with your friends and family to let them know why they should consider putting their phones on flight mode during their flight
