Are pilots allowed to stand on the runway behind their plane for take off in your club.
Our club allows this, I myself think the practice is dangerous what do others think?
At least it clearly warns everyone else at the field that someone is about to fly above their ability.
I don't think the clubs I fly at have a rule specifically about this issue, although they do have rules about standing on the runway which pretty much make it a no-no. That said, I really don't think that anyone would object if the pilot were to make his request known to the other flyers on the field and proper precautions were taken.
