FAA's advice to Galaxy Note7 users: Don't turn on or charge the device on board plane
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
has finally come up a formal statement on Samsung Galaxy Note7's in-flight use,
and no they haven't banned the phone from flights. The agency, instead, is
"strongly" advising users against turning on or charging the device
on board a plane.
Here's the complete statement:
“In light of recent incidents and concerns
raised by Samsung about its Galaxy Note 7 devices, the Federal Aviation
Administration strongly advises passengers not to turn on or charge these
devices on board aircraft and not to stow them in any checked baggage”.
Meanwhile, a couple of Australian airlines -
Qantas and Virgin Australia - have also asked Galaxy Note7 users to not switch
on or charge the phone inside the flight.
