737NG - Do you test the t/o config warning before flight?
Hello fellow aviators,
Pretty straight forward question. Do you advance the thrust levers on your preflight checks to test the t/o config warning? According to the FCOM the wx radar starts sweeping (predictive WS warning) even though the engines are off when advancing the thrust levers (don't know how many degrees exactly). This is according to most ppl not so optimal for the people working on the ground. Perhaps a better question would be; is it dangerous for the ppl working on the ground (or perhaps the PNF doing a walk around passing below the nose) to get a short blast from the wx radar?
Cheers,
LHN (who prefer to test the t/o config warning)
