Do you have in your company's normal procedures a documented requirement for the takeoff configuration warning to be tested during the preflight scan? In other words, do you have to advance the thrust levers (preflight) so you can hear the intermittent horn?
Yes. In our Before Start flow we are required to check that the horn works. On taxi we would check, as a technique, to make sure that the horn would not sound by advancing one or both throttles prior to taking the runway. It is now a procedure for us.
