Yes, you should either turn off your phone or switch it to airplane mode when flying. Airplane mode disables all wireless signals – cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth – while still allowing you to use offline features. Aviation systems are better shielded, and regulators have updated their guidelines accordingly.

Any airplane developed since the early 1950s needing around 160 hp was probably penned with this engine in mindor its slightly larger but fundamentally similar O-360. In cold climates, its likely the 916-powered airplane will be waiting a bit longer to go than the O-320-powered neighbor. Thats actually a bit of the 916s problem.
