Which is why the RAF had a nominated Unit Test Pilot to do the job. The aircraft on a particular flying station (eg 30+ Jet Provosts at Linton) would be configured in the same way after Major Servicing, then go through the hands of the same pilot. It led to a very standardised fleet as far as predictable handling qualities were concerned.
