Beagle, D2,
Perhaps SOPs change. I've only ever had back seat trips so, I'm only talking from the perspective of a pax. I have always, on every single trip, been told to put both pins back in as we taxied back. Surely, unstrapping and hoofing it to safety is a better option than pulling the handle!
If it's folly to do so prior to engine shut down Beagle, I'd suggest that the current Hawk community disagree with you.
