SAS - why would you land again after doing a hover check to then complete an instrument takeoff from the ground? If you are steady in the hover attitude it is much easier to carry out the IF transition from there - starting from the ground just seems rather pointless unless you are in a dust cloud (in which case you wouldn't do the hover check).
