11. Why You Can’t Use Your Phone
It may be annoying that you can’t use your phone on the plane, but it’s for good reason. If multiple people use their phones to make calls when they’re about to land, it can give the pilot false readings on his instruments. If he gets false altitude readings it could throw off the landing causing a serious accident. Laptops must also be stored because of safety concerns, as they could go flying and seriously injure someone during turbulence or landing.
