Given the scenario we're talking about (ensuring your phone does not emit location signals) using airplane mode is placing a significant amount of trust in the phone manufacturer.

A hardware kill switch the Librem 5 will have, but apparently they're using some kind of GTK UI. The best solution is IMO not having your phone, or leaving it at home. Bruce Schneier already wrote about this on his blog and his latest book (Data and Goliath). Every time we take our phone with us, we make the decision to be tracked by a myriad of organisations. We need to be conscious about this decision because we do have a choice here: the choice to keep the phone home.
