Why do the lights go out?
Hi Guys, this is a question to all you pilots out there. I am a student pilot. I was wondering why is it, that when an aircraft( a passenger airliner) is taking-off or landing at night that the cabin lights are turned right down to very dim, and then once airbourne they are turned up again. Is this some strange safety measure. No explanation of this was presented in any of my ATPL courses. Please explain. Thanks.
