I did that check on all the C150s I flew; did it at Denham once and on that occasion, I couldn't get a peep, so when airborne I carried out a stall just to check and still didn't get a peep.
Entered the snag in the tech log and of course, pointed it out to the person on the desk; 2 weeks later, that same aircraft spun in with 2 fatalities.
Interviewed by AAIB, they told me there was no record of the snag being rectified even though it was clearly in the tech log.
Next time I flew at Denham, the club owner interviewed me and bollocked me for carrying out a stall without an instructor on board.
