I don't fly in FAA land, so an honest q? Do you also have to be buckled in when the doors are off, or open?
In CAA NZ land, we have the same takeoff and landing, and under 500' belts must be on, also if doors are removed, all occupants must be in seatbelts or tethered.
surely with a body like that the lass could find something better than a 44... i'd give her a go in...
oops.
