The window shades are raised during takeoff and landing, so that passengers sitting at the window seats, can help other passengers and cabin crews by informing them in case of extreme emergency situations like in case of Engine fires. It will help in safe evacuation at the earliest possible time. 2 Likes |

The main reason isn't even listed there. The main reason you are required to raise the blinds is to enable the first responders/emergency crew to see inside the craft in case it crashes. As most aircraft accidents occurs during takeoff and landing. If they can see inside, they will kw who's alive, where to cut etc 1 Like 1 Share |

Just a way for cabin crew to assert authority and demonstrate who is in charge. As Fela famously said truck driver he get him power over him truck everywhere. This is just one of several stupid rules for those who can only afford public transport |

@ Chrisxxx. Nice thread. I believe with some newer planes it is done automatically - as there are no shades since the windows are electronic. 787 Dreamliner |

With all these long reasons, I still don’t see any reason why you should wake me up to raise window blinds during landing. Period! |

Eeyyaa for the large number of people who have not travelled by air. God will create opportunities and finances for such travel this year. I remember being on a flight with a first time flier. He bombarded me with questions: how will he pick his luggage, how should he use his seatbelt, what of his cabin baggage? I shared his excitement and helped him take pictures to show his village people. He held me tightly during takeoff and landing 5 Likes |

Many people have put several reasons why window blinds are opened while a plane is landing or taking off. Our answers are close but not exact. Yes, this is done for emergency reasons. The reason it is done is to balance the light outside the plane and inside the plane so that if there need for emergency landing, passengers are accustomed to the light outside the plane and they can take action immediately. If you notice, the main lights in the plane are switched off too during landing and take off. Imagine if it's dark in the plane because the lights are off and blinds are down and there is an emergency landing on a bright afternoon, you Will be dazed for a few seconds while trying to exit the aircraft. This is not good for emergency. Also imagine that the interior of the plane is bright and you have an emergency landing on a dark night, it will take a few seconds to get accustomed to the darkness outside. That's why the blinds are opened and the lights in the aircraft are put off. 2 Likes 1 Share |
