You carry yourself, pay plenti money enta aeroplane either bicos di road no safe or you need to go wia you dey go fairly sharparly.
You siddon, dem do all di safety tok-tok, to wear belt and den di pilot tell you say time don reach to off your phone, but you dey play games or watch video, but not for di first time, you ask your sef why I dey run dis parole?
Some theories dey point say phones and oda gadgets fit affect di electronic systems.
According to regulations wey resemble demselves worldwide, electronic devices no suppose to stay on under 3,000m (10,000ft), even if e dey in flight mode.
But above dat height from di ground pipo fit use laptops or music players but di phones go still dey off.
Di US Federal Aviation Administration ban cell phones for airborne use howeva bicos say e fit interfere wit aircraft instruments. Dem say "devices fit dey used for airplane mode or wit cell connection off. You fit use WiFI connection on your device if di plane get WiFI system and airline allow di use."
Di US constitution tok say "di use of cellular telephones while di aircraft dey airborne dey prohibited by FCC rules".
BBC tori pesin, Katia Moskvitch tok say personal phones fit act to malfunction aeroplanes bicos of dia electronics based systems wey dem dey call avionics.
Dis avionics na wetin det used for navigation, to tok wit pipo for ground and monitor wetin dey keep di plane for air and some of dis components dey use sensors to take give informate to di cockpit.
So na how phones fit affect di information wey di plane dey get. No be just phone sha o, Kindles, laptops and handheld gaming consoles bicos all of dem dey comot radio waves.
If dis waves dey at frequencies wey dey close to di ones di avionics dey emit, e fit corrupt di signals and readings wey dem dey provide.
If dis sensors no work, e fit affect systems like radar, communications and collision avoidance technology.
Di problem fit rise well well if your devices don spoil and dey comot stronger radio waves or if di signals from multiple device combine.
No record do show say crashes don dey directly linked to phone use interference but sometimes pesin no dey know wetin dey cause di accidents.
Flight recorder fit no show say critical system bin fail bicos of electromagnetic interference from passengers devices.
However, even though straight line no dey between crash and use of electronic devices.
Katie reveal say US Aviation Safety Reporting System wey Nasa dey maintain show 50 cases of safety issues wey phone use cause.
One case report tok say, "First Officer report say compass systems bin get k-leg for initial climb. Wen dem ask passengers to make sure say all dia devices bin dey off, di compass system go back to normal."
One 2006 analysis of di data base show 77 times wey dey highly link interference from electronic gadgets.
Di International Air Transport Association (IATA) show 75 separate incidents wey pilots believe say na phones cause electronic interference between 2003 and 2009.
BBC tori pesin, Katia Moskvitch point out say even though some airlines don dey advertise how dem go allow pipo to use dia phones for flights, no be for wen di plane dey take off or land, na just for wen di plane dey cruising altitude.
