Tied Down
Our Salty friend has a point. I believe most FAA regulations were written in blood.
How this could have ended up as an FAA regulation would have been like this. The plane blows the right main on the takeoff roll. The plane veers suddenly towards the nearby people. It's a near-miss, or hit and/or plane ends up in the water right next to them. Makes the Nightly News. Now the FAA gets involved, and to appease the public outcry, the new regulation is born.
Say hi to Chicken Little while you're over there drinking beers. LOL.
