The only example I can think of is the 'automated' run-up that is available on a Thielert (sorry, Continental) diesel. Press and hold the button and the FADEC runs through its spiel, revving up the engine, exercising the prop, switching to 'B' FADEC and back. Easy to follow and in my view an acceptable way to check the functioning of this engine. If there are other examples of automated checks out there, I'd like to hear more about them.
