But an engine failure in flight is an emergency, thus you want to test the engine (and related systems) with a runup sometime before you take off. | |

Additionally, turbine powered commercial aircraft are generally larger than piston aircraft and can't just turn off into a run-up area to let the more prepared past. If you aren't ready to go by the time you get to the runway you will delay those behind you. Not a good way to make friends... | |

Uncertain what this has to do with the question
