DC-ATE
I did read the report. I merely stated that had this not been a FBW aircraft, there would not have been this check in the first place.
I suspect there would... it just would have been the Stick Shaker or whatever Stall Warning system(s) were fitted. That is all they were "checking" - or rather, that was the intention of the check which they seemed to wish to perform, but under inappropriate/incorrect circumstances and requirements...
