Well we did have someone here a while back who was ready to go through his engine failure procedures with the passengers.
It really does make you wonder however, in my years of commercial operations I never found it necessary to conduct runups with passengers boarded. There was always time to do it before departure.
Someone earlier in the thread spoke of getting the exhaust hot and letting it warm the oil in the engine, won't work in a Navajo/Chieftain or a Shrike coz the exhaust is on top of the engine not the bottom.
Sigh, so much mis-information getting around these days.
