The lights out is an easy one. Many airlines put out cabin lights prior to landing with the apparent intention of ensuring that night vision is available to evacuating pax. They then ruin it by allowing pax to use overhead lights and personal electronics. Most of the flights I have been on recently the window seat pax shut the blinds on arrival at the seat and it is kept firmly shut till the flight attendants suggest that those that may be open are shut 'to keep the aircraft cool'. I doubt if anyone would have noticed a wing fire in most of my recent flights.
