At a minimum to test the Stall Warning System which was likely disconnected and reconnected as part of the maintenance, but may also have had certain components replaced.

Thanks. I didn’t know there was such a sensor and system. Makes lots of sense now.
The Hawker sounds like a twitchy aircraft at the edge of the envelope.
Stall warning system uses angle of attack and air speed to calculate a stall, and a stick shaker and aural warning. All of these can be tested on the ground, and often are. I’ve been on several test flights after heavy maintenance, and never has an intentional stall been part of it.
