Well erm... I was just wondering why do you have to have your window blind fuly up for take off and landing? As in when your the passenger? =)

The window blinds are kept open during take-off and landing to give better visibility, both from the inside out and vice versa - this way in the case of emergency both the crew and an eventual emergency team outside the plane can see what’s happening and make more informed decisions.

Another regulation similar to "it is normal procedure to turn off cabin lights for takeoff and landing at night", "don't inflate your life jacket in the aircraft" and "no earphones on take off or landing" Tomato
