All run-ups shall be conducted at which locations?

• A. Bravo Run-Ups
• B. Alpha Run-Ups
• C. Sierra Run-Ups and Echo Run-Ups
• D. Charlie Run-Ups

Answer: (C)

Engine run-ups are high-RPM tests that can create significant blast, noise, and safety risk, so they must be done only in approved, protected areas that are kept clear of active taxiways, runways, and personnel traffic. The designated run-up sites are Sierra Run-Ups and Echo Run-Ups, because these locations are specifically set aside to provide the necessary clearance and blast protection while minimizing disruption to other airfield operations. Having two approved sites offers flexibility for factors like wind direction or scheduling, while still maintaining standardized safety practices. Other locations listed are not designated run-up areas under this policy, since they serve other purposes or do not meet the required safety margins for engine run-ups.
