You should turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, U.S.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you
to have permission from a crew member to use your phone
while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of
interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone
while the plane is in the air and require that your phone must
be turned off.

You must turn off your phone in dangerous areas or any area
where posted notices so require. For example, to avoid
interfering with blasting operations, you should turn off your
phone when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs
indicating that two-way radios should be turned off.
Construction crews use remote-controlled RF devices to set
off explosives.

Turn off your phone when you are in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone
or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could cause
an explosion or a fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but
not always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as
gas stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities; areas where the air contains chemical or
particles such as grain, dust or metal powders; and any other
area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine.

You must not store or carry your phone, its parts, or
accessories in the same compartment or other area where
there are flammable liquids, gases, or explosive or flammable
materials.
