What safety measure is essential when performing a ground run-up?

Secure the area and ensure no personnel are within the testing zone.

Ignore the area and proceed as usual.

Only maintenance staff need to be present.

Preventing injuries during a ground run-up comes from securing the area and keeping all personnel out of the testing zone. When engines are run up to high power, the blast and debris can travel a long distance, so establishing a clear, protected perimeter ensures no bystanders or unsecured staff are exposed to danger. Only authorized maintenance actions are allowed within the vicinity, and observers should be at a safe distance behind barriers or in designated positions. Opening cockpit windows doesn’t address the hazard and can introduce additional risks, while ignoring the area or limiting presence to a subset of personnel fails to remove the exposure to the blast and debris.

Open cockpit windows.
