My back bothers me after awhile so I sit while flying my airplane. It brings my attention back to my plane instead of thinking how much my back starts hurting. I get up to land when we have an interesting landing conditions. As for getting hit at the station it has happened but it hit my chair I lifted my legs up and kept flying. there was no way I would have dodged the strike if I had been standing because the plane came down pilot station during an aborted takeoff so I only had about 20 feet from where he started his takeoff roll to impact and was only about 5 or 6 feet away before the threat was noticed. Anything can happen good or bad just make sure if you use the chair it is strong enough not to collapse and is solid on the ground not to sink on you
