flight windows
As soon as you board a flight, you are instructed to put your mobile phone on flight mode. Apart from this, the air hostess tells about tying the seat belt and wearing an oxygen mask in case of emergency. Apart from this, while traveling in flight, you must have noticed that the aircraft crew asks you to open the window at the time of takeoff and landing. Do you know the reason behind this? Not only this, if someone does not do this then strict action is taken against him for doing so.
Why is it necessary to open the window
According to the report of CN Traveler website, the reason for opening windows in flights is directly related to the safety of the passengers. While talking to the website, the official of Flight Safety Foundation said that most of the accidents related to airplanes occur during takeoff and landing. In such a situation, if the window remains open then the passengers can see any accident happening outside and can inform themselves and other passengers about it. This situation is called situational awareness, in simple language, knowing the situation at that time is the main reason for opening the window.
Is the tray table also closed?
Please note that tray tables are closed during takeoff and landing. Apart from this, the seat is asked to be straightened. The reason for this is also related to security. In any emergency, if the balance of the plane gets disturbed then the passengers fall towards their next seat. In this situation, if the tray table remains open, the passenger may get injured. Not only this, if there is a need to escape during an accident, the tray table or seat should not create any kind of obstruction, hence it is closed.
