The second set of tests occur once the first set is complete and the hydraulics are depressurized (after shut down). These tests take approx. 70 seconds to complete. The F/D self-test takes place in the first set of tests and therefore is not done if the F/D's are switched off after landing.

So what happens if you do a visual approach with FD off? No self test after landing?
