Do you do 'running' run-ups?


Not anymore. I have done them when I was towing banners and we would do a quick
turn and taxiing out I would do a quick mag check to expedite things...but
nowadays I just stop and do one. Too many things can distract you while doing
it on the go.
If there is no "run-up" area for the runway, you could always stop on the
taxiway, check behind you to make sure you aren't going to blast someone, and
then do a run-up. If someone is behind you..well..no suggestion there.
