No, but we will take it out of the hangar and run it a day or two prior, just to avoid any surprises at departure time. We often sit for 2-3 weeks away from home, and the crew airlines home. Someone may not see the cockpit for 2 months, so they can find all the switches again, can fuel, run systems checks, and the F/A can go through her crap.

The engine OEM may have a run requirement after X days?? - especially if it sits outside. I think ours is 7 days.

We do an engine run at idle for 5 mins after 7 days of non-flying.
