New Delhi, Jul 29: You will soon be able to use your mobile phone after your aircraft has landed and is taxiing towards the parking bay.
This will be made possible only after a new rule, aimed at relaxing the present procedures a bit, is adopted by the government.
Currently, mobile phones can be used only when the doors of an aircraft are open, either before take-off or after landing and parking.
Under this draft rule, a pilot can permit the use of mobile phones inside the aircraft after it has "landed and cleared the active runway", that is before it has parked and the doors have been opened.
But the new rule makes it clear that a pilot would not permit the use of cellphones if "the landing takes place in low visibility conditions".
