Aviation regulators require passengers to switch smartphones to airplane mode during commercial flights.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that aviation regulators require passengers to switch smartphones to airplane mode during commercial flights?

Partly. One reference says most airlines prohibit transmitting phones in flight and the FCC banned airborne cell use, while another says the FAA does not actually prohibit personal electronic devices and that Europe's EASA removed its airplane-mode requirement. The items cover airline and FCC practice rather than a clear regulator mandate for airplane mode.
