It is illegal to use cell phones in flight (unless in an emergency).
It has to do with the phone at altitude activating multiple cellphone
receivers at once.

he did not say to use the cell phone in flight, he said digging for his keys
he'll see the note with the reminder to use his cell to CANCEL his flight
plan, one can ASSUME that this means if he needs car keys he is on the
ground

and old analog cell phones had that problem...
come on up to the digital age.. no problem with multiple cell towers..

Second of all, simply put your car keys (and cell phone) in a Ziploc
bag
with a 3x5 card inside saying "close your flight plan". The first
thing
a person does usually when done putting away the plane is drive home
and/or call family.



Does this mean I have to take the plane key off my car key ring? No way
the phone goes in the bag, it gets plugged into the intercom so I can
use it during the flight.

Brother Natalie has posted numerous times that the FCC only cares
about the AMPS service. For the FAA and digital services, it's up to
the PIC to determine whether the phone interferes with the aircraft's
nav equipment.

im in australia but same things happen.
ive somehow forgotten twice...both times they rang the number on the
flight plan (flight school) and figured out i had forgotten. i now have
a piece of paper with "Close Flightplan" written on it that i stick
onto my steering wheel before i go flying. it has saved me from
forgetting about 4 times...

A couple of my favorite airports have a sign at the exit saying "Have you
closed your flight plan?"

They should have another one a few feet past that one that says "DOH!!"

tie string on finger..

now what was that string for?

I file IFR now. That way somebody else closes it.
