Engine run up before taxi?
Asked by: Erick Prevost 7586 views Private Pilot, Student Pilot
I'm a student pilot, and have always been taught by my instructors to do the engine run up before calling for take off clearance. However, I often see other (commercial) pilots do their engine run up in the corner of the ramp at the FBO. I think it would be more practical to do perform all aircraft tasks before calling tower, so is it really necessary to wait until right before take off?
Thanks in advance for your help.
