Coming back to Adelaide from Mount Gambier, I accidentally left my mobile phone switched on while boarding the aircraft. It didn’t seem to interfere with the plane’s navigation system or any other electrical equipment.

A couple of years ago my phone rang just as we touched down in Philadelphia… I was unaware of the pilots having any extra trouble getting us to our destination.
More recently I travelled with a gizmo my wife wanted me to look at. When I got home I Googled for the gizmo’s instructions and found the little white button on the back of it was to put it to sleep for airline travel.
I’m not knocking the rules, and better safe than sorry, but I do wonder about them.
