In a recent YouTube discussion, experienced pilot Steve Schreiber shared insights into the nerve-racking aspects of flying, highlighting that takeoff, rather than landing, tends to be more nerve-wracking for pilots. He explained this is due to the aircraft's weight and speed dynamics. Schreiber also advised passengers to use airplane mode on their devices during flight, citing FAA research that indicated electronic devices can disrupt navigation equipment, urging passengers to refrain from wireless signals during critical flight phases.
"You ought to put your device into airplane mode. The FAA found that devices in the back could cause interruptions to navigation equipment."
"At that stage, the aircraft is as heavy as it’s going to be; your power is all the way up and you’re as slow as you’re going to be."
