thanks, safe flying!!
Yes. To save some power consumed by FD P/Bs
Seriously, there is no valid reason. Just to reset the thing and let the next crew to start from square one.
What really perplexes me, is when the previous crew sets all volume controls to minimum, and I have to rotate 16 knobs to the MID position. This is one of the most time consuming parts of cockpit prep.
