As a general rule I would think that when serious work is being done you will be allowed to observe from a distance so as not to interfere or be a distraction. Depending on the extent of pre-flight training you might be permitted to do simple tasks that do not pose a risk to equipment or safety. Tasks such as changing an air filter, operating a trash compactor, vacuuming and cleaning a surface, or preparing food and beverages for a meal would be good candidates for your participation.
