- Can an electronic device be used on board an aircraft?
Some electronic devices are strictly prohibited for use at any time as such
devices have the potential to interfere with the aircraft's navigation and
communication systems. Other electronic devices may only be operated with the
permission of the crew during the cruise portion of the flight.
All electronic devices must be stowed for take-off, landing and during
turbulence.
Devices with headsets or earphones are not permitted to be used during
take-off, landing, and turbulence or while walking on the airport apron.
Headsets and earphones decrease one's ability to hear crew member instructions,
especially during an emergency, and decrease one's awareness of potential
hazards on the airport apron.
To determine whether a device is acceptable for use, contact the airline
prior to travel or a crew member once on board the aircraft.
