The reason they don't want you using personal electronics during takeoff and landing is that most personal electronics, even though they're shielded and not supposed to emit much, emit certain amounts of RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). While one or two devices might not interfere, a lot of them could interfere with aircraft pilot-ground communications, which is critical during takeoff and landing, when the aircraft is most vulnerable. If there is an emergency, the pilot needs to have clear communication with the Air Traffic Controller for emergency instructions and other necessary coms.
Cell Phones and Notebooks are the biggest RFI and EMI (electromagnetic interference) offenders - even though they're shielded, they still emit quite a bit of interference, and cell phones by their nature could theoretically directly overlap an emergency com frequency that the pilot is using. If you've ever noticed the bulge cylinder on the end of some computer and AC adapter cables, that's a device specifically designed for RFI reduction. But not all cables have those.
On another note, any fuel leak vapors during takeoff and landing could also be set off by the use of personal electronic devices if the plane were forced to abort the takeoff and a tank ruptured, though RFI is the primary concern. Same if the plane had a hard landing that resulted in a wing tank rupture and subsequent fuel leak. It's the same reason you're asked to turn your cell phones off while fueling your car.

What is the difference between a pilot and an astronaut?
A pilot is a crew member who flies the airplane. A pilot must be licensed by the FAA to fly an airplane. He has to be licensed to fly a specific type airplane. An aeronautical engineer is a person who helps design an airplane. That is a term for a college degree. They are also referred to as aerospace engineer. In the US, the engineer does not have to be licensed. He only has to meet the criteria of the company who designs the airplane. A mechanic is a person who is licensed to repair an airplane or build an airplane. I mention this because in Europe, the term "engineer" can sometimes refer to a mechanic. The FAA does license some engineers to be the industry representative for the FAA and to approve design changes to meet the Federal Regulations. These are called Designated Engineering Representatives.
What is IPC 610?
IPC-A-610 is the most widely used electronics assembly standard (a document) in the world. A must for all quality assurance and assembly departments, IPC-A-610 E is the latest revision. It illustrates industry-accepted workmanship criteria for electronics assemblies through full-color photographs and illustrations.
What are similarities between a bus and an airplane?
the difference is that one of them is on the ground and one in the air. and one has wings and one doesn't
Why do you need to study Bachelor of Science in Electronic Communication Engineering?
Hopefully because you have a passion for the field and the benefit it will bring others as well as yourself. Electronics talk about at electron level i.e on very small range..so only electronics engineer have a power to make the electronic devices more portable and comfortable...nd economical also. That is why it is a big field to work.
How can you get Darkrai in your pokedex?
Without seeing cresselia, you must go to bed during the night (approxiamately 10pm) and he will appear in a dream. that is how you get him on your pokedex.
What is V1 in an airplane?
"V1" is the speed at which the flight crew must either continue with the takeoff or abort the takeoff. It is the last point at which aborting is an option.
What are the regulations and safety measures regarding the use of electronics on airplanes?
Regulations and safety measures for using electronics on airplanes are set by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Passengers must follow instructions from the airline crew, turn off electronic devices during takeoff and landing, and use airplane mode during flight. This is to prevent interference with aircraft systems and ensure a safe travel experience for everyone on board.
Why must window shades be open for takeoff?
Window shades must be open for takeoff to allow natural light to enter the cabin in case of an emergency, which helps passengers and crew see outside and assess the situation. It also helps the crew see outside for navigation purposes and allows them to monitor the aircraft's exterior during takeoff.
What do you do when you have engine failure during takeoff?
Every aircraft have their own procedure . mostly in airlines when u r in takeoff run u will calculate v speeds and depends on that the procedure will vary . for example you got one engine failure during takeoff run and its before V1 speed you can abort the takeoff and if you already crossed V1 speed you must takeoff and then you can follow the A/C engine failure procedure to land back asap using single engine.
Is an airplane taking off down a straight runway an example of accelerated motion?
Yes, as the plane must accelerate from a stop to its takeoff airspeed.
Can you bring CDs on an airplane?
yes you can bring mp3 players and a CD walkman or any other type of music device (except of course a boom box) on an airplane. <><><> You will, of course, need headphones/ ear buds, and the player must be turned off during taxi, takeoff and landing. Many people bring DVD players to watch movies on long flights, as well as CDs. Radios are not permiited to be on during flight, but players can be.
Can you carry your cellphone on your flight?
Yes, as long as it is powered off (many phones come with a flight mode that ensures no scrambling of signal, but all electronics must be turned off anyway for landing and takeoff)
Can I bring a straightener on an airplane"?
Yes, you can bring a hair straightener on an airplane in your carry-on luggage, but it must be unplugged and turned off during the flight.
What are the elements of long jump?
The long jump consists of four key elements: approach run, takeoff, flight, and landing. The athlete must generate speed during the approach run, execute a powerful takeoff from the takeoff board, maximize distance during the flight phase using proper technique, and land securely in the sand pit to complete the jump.
What happens to the airplane if the center of gravity is too far forward?
If the center of gravity is too far forward, the airplane may become difficult to control, with a tendency to pitch down uncontrollably. This can lead to instability and potential loss of control in flight. Pilots must ensure that the center of gravity remains within the specified limits for safe operation.
During takeoff roll with the tow plane on the runway and the glider airborne the tow pilot must remain alert for?
Aborted take-off such as might result from engine failure.
How much power does an airplane need to takeoff?
The power required for an airplane to take off varies significantly depending on its size, weight, and design. For small general aviation aircraft, this may be around 100 to 200 horsepower, while larger commercial jets can require tens of thousands of horsepower. Typically, takeoff power is related to thrust produced by the engines, which must overcome drag and provide enough lift to become airborne. Overall, the specific power requirements are determined by the aircraft's performance characteristics and operational conditions.
