(FAA)regulationsrequireyoutohavepermissionfromacrewmembertouseyourphonewhilethe
planeisontheground.Tohelppreventtheriskofinterference,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
mayinclude:

n Belowdeckonshipsandboats.
n Fuelorchemicaltransferorstoragefacilities.
n Areaswheretheaircontainschemicalsorparticlessuchasgrain,dust,ormetalpowders.
n Anyotherareawhereyouwouldnormallybeadvisedtoturnoffyourvehicle’sengine,for
example.
Note: Nevertransportorstoreflammablegas,flammableliquids,orexplosivesinthecompartment
