Where are older taildragger pilots taught to do a 360 to scan the pattern
prior to takeoff when instructed to position and hold? Why is this
taught?



No where that I know of. At a towered airport you need trust in the
tower.



No way...

I turn a little toward the upwind as I cross the hold line before I turn and
align with the runway. I'm not gonna trust anyone or anything but my own
eyeballs.
