- Have you ever wondered why we need to turn on airplane mode, or what airplane mode actually does? Black Box Down's Gustavo Sorola explains the technology behind airplane mode and how our cell phones might interact with an airplane's avionics.

No reason for the re upload in the description?
Is this a re-upload? I feel like I just watched this a few days ago. Was this an animated adventure first or something? That doesn't seem right.
My guess is that someone became aware of a tiny error in the video and as such it was fixed and reuploaded
No
Another reason, as you elude to around 0:20 , even if cell phones had absolutely no affect on airplanes, the FCC would still push to have cell phones regulated due to the havoc it causes to the cellular network; attempting to send signals to the wrong towers or during the wrong time slots effectively jams other people's devices.
-elude- allude, sorry
@@ThreadBomb I guess the spelling...eluded them
This is the real reason why everybody must turn on 'Airplane Mode' while they're on a flight. Is not about interference, it's about not jamming the cellular networks on the ground.
I love this podcast! Learned about it a few weeks ago, already half way through every episode!
Thanks for the video!! Would love to listen to more of these.
Fantastic video and well explained.
About the 5G thing, usa is using band n77, which is the a part of the c-band as you mentioned. But most other countries use band n78 (a subset of cband) which is 3.3-3.80ghz so not as dangerously close as the n77 used in USA, Hence why it's less of a potential issue overseas. Also you are correct that the USA's c-band/n77, is in practice, limited to 3.98ghz, but the problem is that the standard n77 defines its range as 3.3 to 4.2ghz, the US telecoms are arbitrary avoiding deploying freq higher than 3.98, kinda like a gentleman agreement, even though the equipment (towers and phones) CAN operate at 3.3 to 4.2ghz and this is exactly why the aviation authorities are worried.
I feel like I've seen this video before, is this a reupload?
re upload?
That’s what I was wondering.
Seems to be?
I have no idea what’s different though.
love the Half As Interesting and Wendover vibes
So basically, completely pointless with lack of evidence to suggest otherwise
oh, a Boeing official? why we certainly know how sincerely concerned they are about safety standards and regulations...
Where was yesterday's episode?
They are taking a break for research purposes, they said it at the end of last episode. But they were also talking about going to post supplementary episodes... So maybe next week?
@@GraalsDeadMonster I hope so
@@GraalsDeadMonster 2-week break between the end of a “season” and supplementary content.
So basically, there's zero credible evidence that phone signals could cause a plane crash. Just superstitious anecdotes. If you can use WiFi safely on a plane, which you should remember, comes in 2.4 and 5ghz modes, you can use cell. The issue is you're way too high to use it. Personally I'm just annoyed that they don't like to allow Bluetooth.
Fun fact: If you use Airplane Mode on the ground. Your phone will blow up. 👍
Sounds about as true as most "fun facts" I read on the internet.
Completely BS
Did you really re upload this to cover the break in episodes? God that's weak.
