Ground Roll

Interesting question -
I have a mnemonic T R E A

Throttle to full and hold - feel / sound or response

RPM - check static RPM on fixed prop or as required on CSU

Engine T's and P's - as stated by others knowing what is right not just book figures

ASI alive

As an aside I fitted an oil temp gauge to my old car and interesting to understand what it tells you.

Cold start it would run straight to 64psi / 4 BAR at idle and then get checked by the OP relief valve and stay there. Once warmed it would slowly decrease at idle until about 30psi.

However if it was on the OPRV and you revved it it could go way beyond up to 80-90psi but once warmed it would stay at 64psi all day long under load.

It taught me a brief warm up period is needed but not necessarily 5 mins static. Just allow everything to stabilise and once you've finished taxying to the runway it should be something like.
