Why do you have to close the window shutters when taking off and landing during flying?
Answers:
ITS IS LAW THAT THE SHUTTERS ARE OPEN DURING TAKE OFF AND LANDING
THIS WOULD ENABLE THE EMERGENCY SERVICE TO SPOT THE PLANE AND TO IDENTIFY IF THERE IS ANY MOVEMENT INSIDE THE PLANE IF NEEDED IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT
you don't
do we? i have never done that in all my years of jetsetting..
There is no rule saying you must close your blinds during takeoff or landing. Turning off the electronics is a different story.
Its just a comfort precaution. They don't what the passengers getting a fright when the shutters fall down at the landing.
Also, they do it for the passengers to adjust to the light outside, lets say if you have the lights on in the cabin and land at your destination in night time, it would take a few seconds for your eyes to adjust to the outside light.
Also, it saves the flight attendents having to do it when they tidy up the plane ;) I flew an airline once where they asked us to please fold the seatbelts neatly over our seats and throw away any rubbish. Hahaha!
NO reason that i can think of.
So you don't see what parts fall off during take off ?!!? Only joking, I've never heard of this. I've always looked out of the window during take off and landing.
so you don't see any bits fall off..
in case flying debris from the runway is flipped up and shattered a window
I don't know what airline you flew on but everyone that I have flown on you are told to keep the shades up on the way up and down why I don't know but that's the way it has been since 1982
it is incase the plane has any accident or get hit by debris etc which might cause the windows to shatter and cover the passengers with broken glass ..
Whenever I have flown they have asked us to keep it open at that time, not closed.
Maybe there's something outside they don't want you to see or maybe that airline has had a bad experience in the past. Or on a more serious note. It may have something to do with cabin pressure on takeoff and landing. They maybe taking precautions in case a window shatters.
Or they don't want the terrorists waving at their buddies on the ground.lol
You've got things a little mixed up.
It's not required to close the window shutters for take-off and landing.
However, on long haul flights, passengers may be flying in daylight (usually early morning or late afternoon) while they're on their 'sleep' cycle. Closing the shutters shuts out the light so they can sleep more comfortably.
The crew may tell passengers to close the shutters just before or after take-off, because they have many duties at that time and it's easier to do it all together.

You don't. In fact they have to be open on take off and landing.
IF,however, you are talking about a small, private plane (which you may be), it is simply to avoid the buffeting of the wind blowing into the cabin and upsetting the pilot and/or the passengers. There also may be dust and dirt picked up by the propeller, and that could be blown into the eyes; something you don't want the pilot, especially, to experience. I suppose the change in the airflow around the cockpit could have something to do with it, but I doubt that it would affect the plane's flying characteristics; it's simply a function of the pilot/passenger comfort.
I have always been asked to close the shutters on landing and assumed it was because if anything dramatic did happen then not being able to see it would reduce panic in the cabin
You don't have to close the shutters, I would suggest that possibly there were emergency vehicals on the runway.
Not necessarily for your aircraft but on standby possibly for another.
Obviously closing the shutters reduces the panic of seeing fire engines racing along with lights going.
Its certainly not common practice on civlillian flights.
you got to keep them, open not shut
