Ahh so that's why the ex-RAAF guys at work take 48 minutes to get airborne...

I never left the bush, Horatio. I still switch my "wank wank" on code 2000 before taxi (and clearance into CTA) at CTAFs around the country (that I still go to). For similar reasons as Bloggs, as well as it being an SOP with my mob. I would also prefer a spurious return than a potential collision 
Good luck with Taipei on Friday, Captain. I haven't heard someone called a "Gumby" for many years. I take it you're from my vintage I've had a lot of things kicked out of me over the years.
Common sense isn't one of them
Terima kasih.

Hugh,
Yep, I cringe at some of the things I used to do.
Sama Sama.
Roger,
Correct. My bad for wording it as if normal run-ups created the problem, but it certainly does lend weight to the argument for running both engines together, especially if you are going to increase power to clear a fouled plug on higher performance twins.
What's the SOP for resolution advisories on short final for DJ or QF?

I would much rather get a transponder return from an "ever-on" transponder that was still on the ground than not get one from an aeroplane I was about to collide with inflight because the pilot forgot to turn it on.

MIHC,
Exactly what aircraft have you flown all around the world? I ask as every TCASII unit I know of, RAs are inhibited below 900'

Probably should've used the Traffic Advisory System acronym instead of TCAD, which I (incorrectly, oops) chose to signify I wasn't referring to TCASII. Did forget about the inhibit function, I'll stick my hand up for that one.
As for types, lately delivering twins (piston & TP) from Europe and the US and demonstrating at airshows in Europe and the Middle East for a manufacturer.
