Just a thought, perhaps the requirement to carry out the acceptance flight may have included legalities to re certify the aircraft for 180 min ETOPS operations... as a non revenue flight.
Im not sure if the German airline was required to maintain or operate the aircraft to a 180 ETOPS standard (for operational purposes ).....
Either way... a tragedy... very sad.
