I've never worked for someone who let's it turned on before 1000'. 400'? That's interesting. How is it in trim? We fly a lot of bent planes because I land a lot of our planes.
I'm sure we'll start seeing more of this. Of course the sooner someone I work with turns it on the longer I'll wait to turn on.
wanna see someone look at you sideways... turn it off at TOD.
the for tournament players turn off flight directors.
