I see your point, Trent.
Makes my and Leaddie’s cheap, no-stress flying school even cheaper and more relaxed!
We don’t even need to make the trainees start the engines. We connect the aircraft to modified electric golf carts, and tow them to the fogged-in holding point with the trainees ‘in command’!
No engine wear or AVGAS bill! (Charging the electric golf carts will cost, but nowhere near the saved AVGAS bill.)
The business case writes itself.
