And this illustrates exactly what the issue is...

If you carry out the HYD TEST at "Flight Position" and the collective lock is not engaged or is not effective, and there is a hyd malfunction, you will most likely end up on your side.

This was addressed I believe in the BA revised start procedures (HYD TEST at 70% Ng) But the B2 normal checklist still has the HYD TEST at Flight Position.

I think the French thought things through when they were writing the RFM and the DGAC was certifying it.
I would challenge that statement anytime! Servo Transparency anyone?
