Why would you want to turn before 500 ft ?

You turn outside the protection of the surveyed splay, you put yourself in a position where people don't expect top find you - traffic inbound would look up the extended centreline to try and find you.

Whats more the pax don't normally like being treated to a thrill a minute ride.

you go and fly in an airline environment and you would not be encouraged to wander around the skies like browns cows
