Lentotilaan

Lentotilaan is a Finnish term that translates to "flight mode" or "airplane mode" in English. It refers to a setting on electronic devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, that disables all wireless communication functions. This includes cellular data, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. The primary purpose of lentotilaan is to prevent the device from interfering with sensitive aircraft electronics during flights. Airlines typically require passengers to activate lentotilaan for the duration of the flight, or at least during takeoff and landing.

When lentotilaan is enabled, the device essentially becomes offline. Users can still access downloaded content, such as music, videos, or books, and play offline games. Some devices may also allow for limited Bluetooth connectivity in lentotilaan, enabling the use of wireless headphones, for example, though this can vary by airline regulations. Modern airplanes often provide in-flight Wi-Fi, which can be accessed by enabling Wi-Fi specifically after activating lentotilaan, while other wireless functions remain disabled. The icon typically used to represent lentotilaan is a silhouette of an airplane. Activating and deactivating lentotilaan is usually done through the device's settings menu or a quick access control panel.
