There is only a requirement for any device to be in " Airplane Mode".
Our iPad in the flight deck is on, how else do we navigate. JeppyBag gone!!
Someone has taken a bit to much Møllers Tran as we say in Norway. ( A concept of a bit over the top on the codliver oil)
Would love to see ANY written reference.
Surely this must be aircraft specific as a standard ILS beam and a standard ILS receiver is NOT influenced by modern phones.
Standing by to be corrected.

Personally, I don’t see any problems with phones in flight mode, but this is what EASA says about this.
Can I use my PEDs during my next flight during all phases of flight?
Not necessarily. Safety is always a priority. Under the EASA provisions, once the airline has shown that its aircraft can safely handle interference from PEDs, it may allow the use of such devices. At certain times — for example, during a landing in reduced visibility — the airline crew may instruct passengers to turn off their devices to make absolutely sure these do not interfere with the aircraft’s communications and navigation equipment. The airline crew has the right at any time to restrict use of PEDs according to airline policy.
