Why do we have to streighten up the back of the seats during flight departure??


Why do we have to streighten up the back of the seats during flight departure??

Most aircraft accidents happen during take off and landings. This is known as 'critical phase of flight. Your seat needs to be in the up-right position for the same reason you need to have all of your bags stowed for take off and landing. Should something go awry during the 'critical phase of flight', and the aircraft should need evacuating, having seats reclined would only hinder your egress...same with luggage at your feet. Also, should something cause the pilot to have to stop the aircraft abruptly on the runway, the aircraft will shake like it's going to fall apart (usually doesn't...). This abrupt stopping will send you lunging into the seat back in front of you. I know it's but maybe 6" difference, but it might be enough to 'save your neck'...pun intended. Oh yea...don't forget to fasten your seatbelt SECURELY.

To prevent vertigo or blood flow variances which may cause fainting. 90 degree upright is the best position to prevent cause and effect from a vagal response.

I agree with Neil, and I appreciate this rule. I don't like the idea of landing when the seat back in front of me is right in my face.
