It'd be nice if the in-flight seatbelt checklist item is a "check" response rather than turning them off. Most American carriers keep the belts on until cruise altitude is reached, but the checklist turns them off prior to that which triggers the FA coffee delivery. Given flights climbing out can be somewhat turbulent, it makes sense to allow the PIC to turn these off when available rather than force them off as part of the checklist.

 

Any way to adjust this step?

Regarding "set belt signs" there are so many different procedures worldwide used - depending on airline and type of plane. But we can stick to one only in the CL and that is what we implemented. But if there are turbulences it is no problem to switch them ON again. Sorry but we will not adjust / change this.
