I'm off for a day or two just now .. but, why don't you start a thread on, say, "Certification versus Operations and Stall Considerations". That will entice some high ranking test pilots and certification folk into the discussion.....
Indeed - although the flight test forum might be the best place to get a really good discussion going.
It is absolutely true. One really obvious example is that a Test Pilot will happily define a stall as being full back stick and "mush" - which is a safe and benign characteristic. Then instructors all over the world will try all sorts of stupid tricks to get what they think is a "proper stall" after the flight test team went to great lengths to give those instructors a very safe aircraft which doesn't do anything exciting.
