Ever since, I am aching to try it during the flight control check on the ground, but discipline keeps me from using the system inappropriately.
A wise decision, I would think.
Along these lines, I am reminded of the telephone call I received during my hotac rest, wherein the rostered FD crew, newly converted to the L1011, were trying control checks with the hydraulics switched off...and in doing so, received aileron cross-hatch enunciation...and then didn't then know what to actually do about it.
After this, the fleet manager distributed a memo to all FD crew...in essence, RTFB thank you very much.
