.. a violent pitch down exceeding 100 knots past it vmo loosing 10,000 ft altitude.. cant imagine how frightening that must have been for the flight crew..
.. absolutely hats off to the flight crew for recovering from such a scary attitude.. just lucky that they had enough altitude to do so, and a good job for easyjet that this wasnt a commercial flight..
Ermm, wont that be why it is a requirement in the maintenance manual to do the (non-revenue) flight test if control rod adjustment or other designated criteria are met and usually performed by specific crew at specific height and specific flight conditions (i.e. visual horizon, etc.)?
