Seats for takeoff
 

Just wondering how long after takeoff are the crew allowed to get out of their seats? Whenever you want or when the seatbelt sign goes off or something else!?

And when do you need to be seated for landing?

cheers,

When i was flying for a small regional airline, it used to be 2 minutes after take off which was suppose to be at 1500 ft. Then they changed it to the tech crew 'double ding donging' with the seat belt sign from the flight deck. This worked well when the crew didn't forget to let us out of our seats!!!! or 'unleash the beasts' as some of them would say!!!!

I've had a bit of everything during my career. Two minutes after T/O, when the gears are retracted, or at 10000FT (No Smoking sign off only in the galley as indicator from F/D).
I remember once, after a T/O in the F/D, I heard the Captain say while actioning the switch to signal the CC it was safe to walk around, "release the girls". "Should the boys remain seated then?" I asked :D

In the company I work for, cabin crew are 'released' with the After Take-Off checks, normally about 2 mins from brake release. However, if it looks like bumpy clouds have to be negotiated, cabin crew are asked (by PA) to "remain seated" until the worst conditions are passed. Hope this is useful.
