ORIGINAL: pe reivers

The very short run-up is very unlikely to show up problems that will devellop in flight. Do your maintenance properly, and the number of failure modes is drastically reduced.
Running up before flight is one way to show the world you are not sure of yourself, your plane, or engine. So ask yourself, is there reason to be unsure? What should I have done that I did not?
Full scale pilots do?A manditory check of many things. Just making sure everything is good to go!
