Is anybody seriously considering the routine of the PF control check? Many PNF checks of flight control operation on the flight control system page would not pick up incorrect sense. Many PNF say "checked" before surface indications return to neutral. This immediately invalidates the pilot flight control checks. Captains therefore have increased responsibility to ensure that controls are actually correctly checked.
I guess many FBW pilots are now meeting the new challenge. The question is of course, why not previously to this near fatal incident?
