<\/p>\nOpening the window shade is part of the long process of preparing the cockpit for an emergency. <\/p>\n
The crew has only 90 seconds to evacuate all passengers in the event of an accident.<\/p>\n
With minor adjustments to the size of the aircraft and the number of passengers, the evacuation process <\/p>\n
takes the same amount of time. Therefore, to meet this same 90 seconds, the team prepares the plane in advance.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In addition, the seats located near the emergency exit are of particular importance: they can be occupied only by adults. <\/p>\n
They are advised to read the safety instructions so that they are prepared to assist the crew in case of an emergency.<\/p>\n
Window blinds are raised during landing and takeoff, as these phases of flight are considered the most dangerous. <\/p>\n
As you know, the largest number of accidents occur during take-off and landing, so passengers are asked to raise the curtains, <\/p>\n
put the seats in an upright position, fasten the seat belts, etc. If something goes wrong, the team will have time to react quickly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
In addition, the following should be taken into account: Passengers are curious. And there are 100-300 people <\/p>\n
watching the takeoff\/landing process and ready to instantly report anything they find odd. In an emergency, every second counts. <\/p>\n
With high curtains, the crew can easily see the sea conditions and make the best possible evacuation decisions.<\/p>\n
In case of an accident, people should be ready. Therefore, opening the curtains during the day allows the passengers to get used to this kind of lighting. <\/p>\n
In the event of an emergency evacuation, passengers will not have a spontaneous change of cabin lighting, which in turn avoids temporary shock.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The same goes for night flights: curtains open, cabin lights dimmed. This helps emergency services on the outside see what’s going on inside.<\/p>\n
