"Check Pilot Stress" is the step that adjusts stress based on the color of maneuver. It's not what checks whether you can perform an action -- it's just a rule of actions that you can't take them while stressed. Performing your action first with this card lets you act before that step places a stress token on your ship from your red maneuver (if you're not already stressed).
