The shutter?
What is a shutter? You mean window shade? On a long haul night flight to the east it is possible you have to lower it because it will only be dark for about 4 hours. It is also possible that when you fly above certain regions (war zones) your window shade MUST be OPEN during flight. So everybody can see that you're a civilan aircraft and not a military. But this really never happens as most (smart airlines and pilots) don't fly over war zones. Anastasios. Post Edited ( 07-07-07 15:33 )

im flying from jordan in the middle east to new york and i heard that u must close it but i dont think so.

No, I suppose you won't have to close them.

the only case I can imagine is that you have to close it during take off or landing, if you fly by military facilities etc in low altitudes... but I
actually don't think that civil aircrafts even are allowed to fly that close to them... ^^

There are 3 things you don't need to think about during flight: - The altitude in relation to space - The runway you took off - The fuel you forgot at the airport

what i heard is in a daytime at cruising the crew may turn the cabin lights so the passengers can sleep and at that time u cant open the
shutter!! but i dont think that is right

I don't think it is because on a flight from Toronto to Vienna (mostly) everyone had the shutters open, day and night
