Hi,

I have had a full autoland landing in EDI in the last 2 months and we have been asked to turn off all electronic devices.
Now that we can use small electronic devices at all stages of the flight , I believe it is BA's policy that in very low visibility landings all electronic devices are to be switched off ( I have heard reports of similar announcements on AA)

Regards
