I went to GIV initial in 2016, long enough after the Bedford crash so that FSI had all the information on that crash. It was a huge topic of discussion in the first two days of initial. The crew was FSI trained and according to the instructors, that crew was highly disciplined in the training environment but were a couple of “corner cutting cowboys” as my instructor put it. They were able to download enough information from the plane to see they hadn’t done the control check in the last—I think—60 ish flights. That means that between the time they started on the accident flight, till the time they tried to rotate, they never deflected the controls. Not once, no control check, no spoiler check, no hydraulic system check, nothing.
