Our stick shake/pusher test has the CA hold the yoke while the shaker and pusher activates. I got to thinking.... if everyday a CA applies resistance to the pusher to keep it from slamming forward, could the test be imparting a bad muscle memory for a pusher in flight? I mean, if he/she is used to fighting the push, might he (in the heat of the moment) revert to pulling?

I just thought twice a year he is trained/reviews stall recovery, but daily he pulls during the test.


Any opinions?
