Dear friends and followers welcome back to my channel, today I´ll be another classic passenger question, why does “Why do flight attendants dim the lights prior to take-off and landing during hours of darkness?" Why does the tray table need to be stowed away, the window blinds up, and the seat put in an upright position? And I´ll give you little plane hack you can check out for yourself.
I´m sure many of you have experienced this, you taxi to the active runway during hours of darkness, the cabin crew makes their announcements, Ladies and gentlemen, in preparation for take-off we would like you to open up the window blinds, stow your tray table, and bring your seat in the upright position". A few minutes later the flight attendant dims the cabin lights.
But have you ever questioned why the flight attendants dim the lights?
It´s all got to do with eye adaptation.
If the cabin lights were to be fully bright, and there would be an emergency situation, after a rejected take-off, for instance, you would then jump onto the slide into absolute darkness, as your eyes struggle with the sudden change.
Why does the tray table need to be stowed?
Again, during an emergency evacuation, an unstowed table from an aisle seat, could be hazardous for the passengers in the middle and window seat. Many people struggle with the easiest tasks during a panic situation.
Why does the seat need to be in the upright position? If your backrest is reclined, the passenger right behind hasn´t got enough headspace in case he has to get into the brace position prior touchdown. Also, a reclined backrest could be obstructive during an evacuation.
Why do the windows blinds need to be open?
Primarily, so that you and the flight attendants see what´s going on outside of the plane.
Back to our engine fire situation. If you see flames piling up out of the engine on your side of the plane, you know you do not want to exit on that side of the plane.
Watch the entire video for more information and a plane hack you can check out for yourself the next time you´re in a passenger seat.
Thanks for watching, all the best your "Captain" Joe

If the airlines would show this video at the start of a flight, a lot more people would actually do what there told.

[@glennac]

Agreed! This needs to be explained because there are always selfish Bas**t**ds that ignore the lives/needs of others. Maybe if they understood the reasons WHY these are required maybe they’ll be more courteous next time. Probably not though. 🧐

[@zloychechen5150]

that's actually an excellent idea. those airlines that have screens should have at least some of such videos available for watching onboard.

[@W0Ndr3y]

they do not, because they do not want to talk about the plane accidents just before the flight so people wouldn't freak out. If you are just told to put the table up, it is less stresfull than being told that if you will not put the table up, the person next to you will burn alive as the plane engines catch fire during take off. Some people are stressed by idea of flying and this would be too much information for them. You and I on the other hand, and many here, are more of the analytic side of things, and value actual information so we would prefer this.

[@Engineer9736]

glennac Sounds like you’re in the brace position during the whole flight, asking all the time if the wings are still on. At any given minute there are a 100.000 flights in the air of which 3 or so get into an accident.

[@sidbrun_]

Good point, they always have some tacky video telling you what to do but never why to do it, perhaps explaining it briefly (Also not thru a tacky video) would get people to pay attention. Maybe Joe has an answer for why they don't?

I thought they dimmed the lights so you can relax or something.

[@martintheiss743]

they do. in cases like the Rio Paris flight the external environment was dark and jet lag would not exactly be the worst due to the change in latitude on route. Those who could catch a few hours sleep in flight upon landing in Paris would not be in as bad shape as you would think later.

[@eatadick6969]

I kinda don't like it... When they dim the lights it feels like the predator is coming to destroy the plane

lmagicien212 No, airports are the most spacious places on earth. The don't want us to have fun. They want us to suffer and get bored on those uncomfortable chairs.

[@shi01]

Well, there is a very good reason airports don't do that. Although it looks fun, the use of the slides results quite often in minor injuries like abrasions and bruises but sometimes passangers even breake some bones when they have to use it.

Thank you for posting! I used to work with a former flight attendant who told us many stories about why you stow the tray tables, etc. during take off and landing. Some of the stuff she had to deal with were incredible to listen to. She also had to empty a 747 full of people during one trip, and you get a good appreciation of the training they get to pull that off.

I have never understood why the airlines continue to serve alcohol on aircraft. In the event of an emergency evacuation, a *single* intoxicated passenger could mean dozens of people could lose their lives. We worry about lighting and seatbacks yet we do nothing about the elephant in the plane...the drunk passenger.

[@anonobot3333]

Actually you're absolutely right.

[@zloychechen5150]

flying is actually quite unpleasant for many. living in russia, i've noticed that when probability of social unrest goes up, excise duty on vodka goes down. i think, apart from historical reasons, it could be down to the fact that there are few ways to make your life less miserable onboard, and booze is one of them.

[@AFmedic]

As an AeroMed in the Air Force (primarily C9's & C141's) I loved flying. But now a days you can't get me on a plane unless you dragged me on board kicking & screaming or if you got me totally wasted! Maybe some people need alcohol to be crammed in like sardines which what it is now.

[@user-po6hn9id1t]

AFmedic6871 that happens when you go cheap. You are going to be like sardine... But at least for me, the roar from the engines is enough to calm me down... (not that I don't afraid of flying)

[@martinc.720]

Bosco Bob flight attendents can't over serve (serve another drink to a passenger for whom it would be "one too many", or who has had enough) and crews have the right to refuse to let a drunk passenger board a plane. I'm not saying drunk passengers don't exist, but I would not call it "the elephant in the room"

[@philtripe]

i was on a short flight once and one of the engines burst into flames as we were flying so i just sat thee watching it for maybe a minute, thinking it will just go out and be fine...well it didn't, so i casually pressed the flight attendant button and when she arrived i quietly asked "does the captain know about this"? yes she replies and said something about shutting off the fuel and returning to the airport we just left from "so, is this going to be a problem"? i asked oh no she said and told me they already radioed ahead for a new plane so i jokingly said something about needing peanuts to compensate for any inconvenience and to my surprise she handed out peanuts to all the passengers for the next plane...i always thought i was the panic type person but it turned out to be kind of fun as it broke the ice and all the passengers started talking as if we were all old friends...so we are walking through the airport, laughing and having a great time and i could only imagine what other people in the airport thought

Fire in an engine isn't actually that dangerous, as airliners will still be able to fly with 1 engine. The cause of it, is what's dangerous.

thats just in flight deck, you should hear one in the cabin haha. 5 times louder

[@MichelleJ1822]

I’m 45 years old and I have never flown in an airplane. This was a very informative video! Thank you so much for sharing. I do hope to go to Europe with in the next 3 to 5 years so I better get used to the idea of flying LOL

[@emau2459]

You can find alternatives if you want to avoid flying but they take longer of course. Cruise or cargo ships

[@jimbehr2291]

Take Valium if you are afraid of flying. 👌

[@vumai4827]

Thank you for adding Vietnamese subtitles and helping me answer many questions about the plane

[@robinbrown7953]

Nice to know there is still some useful info on youtube these days. thank you!

[@JKMoviesyoutube]

Super Video Cpt. Joe😊

[@seb3398]

4:59 FUUCCCKKKKK IITTTTTT!!!!!

[@zachdaniels8484]

LOL!.

[@amyamess3923]

Mlum

[@martamiegoc]

You are really great in explanation! I love to listen you. Many thx for many info! 😀

[@ojgador9200]

thank you. it's exactly what i always wondered

[@philipplippe3607]

I wonder if any of these features really helped someone once, or made a difference in a serious situation

[@chocolatelover7325]

Well we won’t survive a planet crash most likely

[@chocolatelover7325]

Physics u know

[@syedameeruddin7203]

please Joe explain about cabin air pressure concept please please please.......!!!!

[@marksimpson2321]

This stuff should be sent in an email with your plane tickets. Common sense reasons but many people don't have much common sense AND in an emergency, a few seconds could save a person's life. Great clip. Ty.

[@vinaychakraborty8635]

So well thought through safety measures. Very impressive!

[@KatelynDawnside]

ok but WHY DO THEY TURN ON THE DAMN LIGHTS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

[@RiasatSalminSami]

So that people don't get scared off ghosts.

[@n35ql]

If you mean before landing, the answer is, so the flight attendants don't have to check the flightdeck in dark. You would not want to check for down positioned "seat-tables" and leftover cups or garbage etc... Also I think they do that to stimulate the passengers. During a flight you can hear the sound of cabin alert (fasten seatbelts) without the signs changing, that is at least i think for stimulate the passengers. So in case of emergency you will be already in an alerted state.

[@n35ql]

Correction, not before landing, but before/during descent and approach.

[@bar10ml44]

Katelyn Chan They don’t simply turn the lights on. It’s either for decent or meal service before arrival on long haul.

[@binzc3052]

Thought they dimmed the lights for more power or some shit

[@Pinkpolo85]

3:27 thought my smoke detectors were going off. Lol

[@tgs6027]

As cabin crew this should be viewed by each and everyone that boards an aircraft. Thank you!!!

[@thelifeofpaola982]

this is awesome! thank you Captain!

[@colenightingale9542]

Why can you not have you phone with cellular data on during flight? Love your videos keep it up

[@F_Wagner]

Cole Nightingale You can have it on now in most modern planes because everything is shielded from such radiation caused by the phones. But - if you are in an old plane your phone might interact with the navigational instruments or other components of the plane and you might cause a crash. Also important to know: Your phone won’t receive any signal to connect to the outer world simply because cellphone towers are designed to keep the signal concentrated onto the ground and not the air.

[@sct913]

Because electronic systems that planes rely on, like radio altimeters, navigation receivers, and instrument landing systems (all of which are based on DATA signals received from radio transmitters), are extremely sensitive to spurious radio signals (this sensitivity is so the equipment can operate efficiently on low power and in adverse weather conditions) The majority of people today are too dumb to realize that a cell phone is actually a radio transmitter that not only broadcasts on the intended frequencies, but also sends unintended signals on other frequencies (this is a consequence of making cell phones so small and light - there isn't enough room to install the proper filters to minimize this problem). I don't know about you, but I sure wouldn't want to run the risk of my flight missing the signal from an airport's glide slope receiver or VOR beacon so you can selfishly be able to conduct personal business on your cell phone. And, despite Mr. Wagner's claims to the contrary , while RF shielding on modern plans has improved - especially in recent years, cell phone circuitry has gotten even cheaper in construction., so there is still a risk of RF (radio frequency) interference adversely affecting critical aircraft systems. Because cell phone technology is continually changing, it is impossible for the aircraft manufacturers and airlines to continually evaluate the latest phones to see how using them affects their aircraft. And, with respect, NO cell phone transmission, even if it is only data, is important enough that people have to do it while on board a plane. Most people of the current generation don't realize this, but there was a time where people conducted themselves in public society and places, including flying on planes, without the benefit of cell phones And the fact is that, everybody got along just fine without this "me first" dependence on technology. Captain Joe - feel free to clarify and/or correct me if I've gotten anything totally wrong.

[@MikhaelAhava]

It is quite good to be able to call some authorities on the ground while on the air when the plane is under a hijack as what has happened in the past although...wouldn't really make much difference.

[@stressocean.-.6041]

Cole, Office US PhD my reason is becuz it can block transmitters and the pilots won’t reach ATC tower like what if there was another plane on the runway and now ATC isn’t able to tell them? You can die from a crash of those two planes like the worst air crash in the history of air crashes when two planes crashed bt it wa son the ground one was coming back the other was leaving without telling ATC tower killing everyone in one of the planes and only 66 survivors in the other plane. Be careful

[@WiseWik]

Here's an add-on to this one: What's the procedure on recovering personal belongings after the evacuation?

[@michaelarkell2188]

Gernuts yeah

[@itsdaniyaal]

Onboard flight attendants will get you your personal belongings if the aircraft survives!

[@kjrc03]

You dont. They advice you time and time again to leave belongings when you evacuate. I’m pretty sure none of your belongings is more important than your life.

[@TheInkSideofThings]

@@kjrc03 he said 'after'

[@tvdan1043]

After the emergency is over, assuming the aircraft survives, all the carryons and checked bags are retrieved by the ground crew and sent to baggage claim. In the event of loss of the aircraft, all the bags become evidence and the passengers are compensated.

[@simplevlog4923]

Good Job Captain Joe very basic but important for safety of passengers..

[@gs2365]

Excellent advice, well delivered well explained. Thank you sir.

[@alexandregbt3239]

Some Japanese airlines (like JAL, ANA or Air DO) don't dim the cabin light during take off and landing. It is strange !

[@krishnabhat4267]

Do you agree with me that this guy looks like Frank Lampard

[@RiasatSalminSami]

Now that you mention it, yeah he really does.

[@P4boot]

LMAO... I was thinking he looked like somebody! Thanks my mind can rest now 😂

[@virtuosowins]

Yes he looks close to him, As though he is a cousin of his

[@freddiemeyer4563]

@C-Ann W hes a famous english footballer

[@MIKE1REAL]

Highly informative video. Much appreciated. Mike
