Never heard of leading with rear engine to make sure it was running.
That procedure was to get you moving so the front prop wouldn't pick
up rocks and throw into rear prop. We used to carry a little *******

Doesn't everybody?

file (6 inches) and on pre flight if found a nick in prop leading edge

Errrr...Ahhhh...wait... that was a pooly selected insertion spot and
could lead one to the wrong interpetation.

But only a 6" file? They must have been little nicks. :-))

But it happened several times. The fix was to issue a POH
