Haven't "fully developed" stalled a Lear. However suffice to say, if any fixed leading edge devices are adjusted or replaced, the aircraft has to be stall tested by a Lear test pilot. I was in Germany about 10 years ago and a Lear Test pilot was flown out from Wichita, to perform that test.

This is a great testimony to the current generation of Boeing aircraft of course. What great aircraft they build. I flew corporate, with an ex 3rd world flag carrier, senior 744 Captain. He was unable to perform an ILS, within limits, on raw information alone. He was also unable to safely carry out a visual circuit, using visual means olone. His flying technique was such, he would never have managed (near the ground) a first generation heavy jet built by Boeing. BTW I am qualified on the 707 and 747.
Not being catty here but this does illustrate the total reliance on the reliable, automatics, of today.
