Airplane Mode Toggled While Flying

Post by DashDriver » 26 Nov 2014 19:32

I'm an airline pilot and I've designed this set of flows to put my phone into and out of airplane mode as I fly.
On takeoff, a combination of a pressure drop and speed check will enable airplane mode.
During descent, a pressure increase will enable a speed check. After slowing below 60mph on landing rollout, airplane mode will be disabled.
This is my first submission and it's in four separate flows. If anyone has suggestions to streamline it, I'd love to hear them.

This is fantastic! I'm an FA and have spent years racking my brain how to do this, I did get something going using network signal checks finally, but now there are speed triggers, before they're were none, so this looks better than mine! Thank You

But can it be confused when driving in car? I think there should be an altimeter trigger for cellphones who has it, combined with the speed condition, it will be fine.

Sadly no good for passengers, who have to enable airplane mode before the aircraft gets to the runway. Even had occasion when there's some detector onboard and steward said 'we can still detect someone hasn't done it yet, please do so'. So the flow would activate too late, right?
