We did just that on the local domestic airport in Stockholm. I worked at that airport as a bagagehandler/crusher. We did a prerace testrun one night after the last flight had landed. We had sort of &quot;permission&quot; by the guy driving the Follow Me car to do it on one of the taxiways, they didn't want us to use the runway if we rolled the car.

Anyway we did a full throttle pass with deployed chute and all. Two days later we qualified as #2.
