Friday Airplane Trivia: Lights inside the Airplane

Friday, March 12th, 2010 at 1:32 am

Howdy Pilots! It’s Friday again! And that means we’re back to some Friday Airplane Trivia :)

Here is our question of the day: Why do they turn the lights out in airplanes on takeoff and landing?

The answer? Well, it looks like your eyes are being trained to see in lower lights. They take off the lights so that your eyes can get used to darker surroundings. This is because during emergencies, the aircraft loses the lights inside the cabin. Now, if your eyes are used to lesser lights, you pilot, can easily act! You will not panic like cray because your eyes are just seeing fine. You can save yourself, and the other person beside you too!

How cool is that? :)
