Depends on the airport.


By the way, Lightning mate..


One does not warm up a gas turbine - it's not necessary.
Every engine run AMM ref I have come across says to let the engine stabalise at idle for 5 mins before increasing power.

However, I take the point that a certain extremely quick twin engine interceptor may not have had this luxury when called upon to say hello to the neighbours from across the North Sea.
