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 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.

Turn off your phone when you are in an area with a

potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it is rare, your

phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks

could cause an explosion or a fire resulting in bodily injury or

even death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly

marked. These areas 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.

Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the compartment of your

vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
