In practice that's what we do but I make the point that the aircraft will fly quite safely on one mag but shed 6" off one prop blade and. I've seen young inexperienced pilots do things that would horrify their boss/LAME. eg parked in loose gravel and sand meticulously doing mag and prop checks sending dust,sand ,stones and tumbleweeds from Blackstone Range or similar place almost to Alice Springs.
