There was a flight delay, should the commander let passengers use Portable Electronic Devices (PED)?

  • A

    Yes, as long as the cabin crew can secure the cabin before the flight eventually proceeds.

  • B

    No, phones should be immediately turned off when the main doors are closed.

  • C

    Yes, as long as the cabin crew can secure the cabin during the taxi.

  • D

    Yes, until the holding point.

In general, the use of Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs) during a flight delay is typically allowed as long as the cabin crew can secure the cabin prior to the flight proceeding. This means that passengers may use their PEDs during the delay, but must stow them prior to take-off. The exact timing of when PEDs must be stowed may vary based on the airline's policies and procedures, but it is typically before the aircraft begins taxiing for take-off.
