Anne many flight controls will flop around randomly in a breeze with no hydraulics on. Being in a 737 cockpit for example can be a hazard when windy as the controls can move rapidly without warning. On windy days we often leave a pump(s) powered for crew safety. Once hyd power is on the control wont normally move without pilot input.
