RE: Why Should The Armrests Be Down On TO/Landing?

When the armrests are up there is no weight on the wheels, so when they are down for landing there is more weight on the wheels to aid braking. They are down for takeoff also, because more weight gives more momentum to the aircraft for maintaining takeoff speed.
