RE: Standing position for take off
So sorry how rude of me....
Hi I'm Casey and I Luft addict....
Now that's out-of-the-way...
Perhaps you missed the fact that that OP is from New Zealand. As you and several others have established, the standing procedure in the US is to use the pilot station, except for under special circumstances. I totally agree with, and adhere to these procedures myself, except under special circumstances, as described above.
With the use of the video, I was hoping to show that (outside the US), it is not necessarily the standard practice.
Perhaps it is just a case of "when in Rome"
