1. Secrets about the darkness in the cabin

Flying through the bad weather, the pilot will reduce the light in the cabin

The reason to stand up back of the chair, fold the dining table in front to make it easier for passengers beside you to escape if the aircraft has a problem. Opening a window helps the rescue force on the outside to quickly locate the victim inside the aircraft, and passengers can also actively observe problems outside the fuselage.
