() Yeah yeah. The fact is that if we are only going from cabin to cockpit and back, there are no cleats or objects to get in the way.
I pull on shoes when going forward; shoes and "dirty" gloves when anchoring.
But just moving from cabin to cockpit, the only "hazard" we face is the slippery companion way step.
