Mobile phone calls made by passengers on aeroplanes can seriously affect the aircraft's on board equipment.
A Manchester Crown Court jury heard that Whitehouse, an oil worker, had repeatedly refused to switch off his phone after being spotted with it on the Boeing 737.
Experts said the plane's navigational systems could have been affected by radio waves from the phone even though no calls were made during the flight.
Whitehouse was asked by cabin crew to turn the mobile off after he was spotted typing "I love you" onto the text face.
When told it might interfere with navigation, he replied: "Why? Are we going to get lost?"
The judge hearing the case called for the ban on mobile phones on aircraft to be reiterated.
