It all depends ...

At the usual small airfield I am not a friend of Bondage, unless there is reason to assume helicopter traffic in the direct vicinity of the "apron". Many times tie-downs are little more of a joke. The typical 172 will have a rotation speed of 60 mph, so there has to be quite some wind to get into critical situations.
