Of course, there would be no need for a stall 'test' in a case where one airline is returning an aircraft back to its owner I don't think. Again, it's because of a sytem on board this and similar aircraft that led to this accident, even if it turns out to be 'pilot error' in the end.
You just don't get it do you
There was
NO requirement to do this test. It is the exact equivalent of a stall shaker test - and it is just as likely to be tested unnecessarily and at the wrong altitude as Alpha Max... Whether or not a stall shaker test is a "handover" requirement, an Alpha Max check is
not required.
You really seem hell bent on blaming FBW for this when it is totally irrelevant as to the conduct of the test
