Seems like a good pre-flight check item - I'm always happy to add new check

And if the answer is yes, then what?

Be prepared for it?

I suppose you'll say that you should always be prepared for any device
to go TU during the flight, and you'd be right. But here is a case where
you can know in advance that it's going to happen, and be ready for it
such that there is no surprise.

Seems like a good idea to me.


Cheers,
