Full run-up?

[Jim Hann]

Below is the new bi-weekly question:

If you land and turn off your engine for just 5 minutes, would you still do your full run-up before takeoff? What if you did not shut down at all? Would you still do your full run-up and why?

Spent two years flying Barons and Aerostars in Part 135 frieght. Did a run up at the beginning of the night and if I changed airplanes during the night. Otherwise, didn't bother again. Now, this does not mean I didn't use the checklist. Checklist is used every time! I do basically the same thing with my Pacer.

If I add gas, yes I check for water. Again, checklist is used every time!
