It's the common way to do so bacause it allows the fat to drain out. A
quick search through various cookbooks
yields:
Understanding Food
Ducks and geese, because of their high fat content, should be placed
breast down after having had their skins thoroughly pricked to release
excess fat during the cooking process. They are turned breast up about
halfway through heating ...
Joy of Cooking:
Place the goose breast side down on the rack in the roasting pan and
cook for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the goose from the oven and spoon out
most of the fat in the roasting pan, being careful not to discard
juices and browned bits.
Jewish Holiday Cooking
ROAST the goose breast side down on the rack for 11⁄2 hours, pouring
out the fat occasionally as it accumulates in the pan. Remove the
goose from the oven, turn it breast side up, and prick the skin again
several times.
Meat A Kitchen Education
Slow-Roasted Goose Legs and Sauteed Breasts As they cook, the goose
legs and breasts will release an enormous quantity of fat. ... Place
the breasts skin side down in a saute pan just large enough to hold
them in a single layer.
How to Cook by Sokolov
Stuff the goose and sew up the cavity (see page 243). 3. Prick the
goose all over with a fork so that fat can drain out during roasting.
4. Set on a rack in a roasting pan, breast down, and cook in the oven
for 1 hour, covered.
