| May 31, 2014 at 23:02 | comment | added | Skip Miller | @BrianKnoblauch Yes using a cellphone in a plane is illegal. Does anyone reading this have knowledge of anyone being arrested or fined for doing so, in an emergency situation (or even one where safety is enhanced by using the cellphone as in this example)? I believe it is de jure illegal and de facto legal. | |
| May 31, 2014 at 13:48 | comment | added | Brian Knoblauch | Yeah, from what I gather, using a cell phone in the plane is still illegal (FCC if VFR, FAA & FCC if IFR). Would I use a cell in an emergency, sure, if I thought it would help. Is losing radios an emergency? Typically no (although I can imagine circumstances where it might be)... | |

Worst case scenario the phone will be unusable, but at least you tried. | |
| May 9, 2014 at 15:23 | comment | added | falstro | @Jamiec it works quite well actually, depending on the aircraft of course. It might be illegal though. | |
