Flight mode is a feature in many
mobile phones and
PDAs that allows you to use
basic operations of the
device while the transmitting function is switched off.
This enables passengers on airplanes to use the device in-flight, provided the device
was switched to flight mode before take-off. In flight mode, users cannot
perform some functions such as
SMS or make phone calls. Flight mode is also
called
airplane mode,
offline mode, or
standalone mode.
