In a small GA aircraft, in which phases of flight will you normally use mostly
trim to adjust pitch, and in which phases will you normally mostly use the

The yoke is used almost always for pitch adjustment, followed by trim
to zero out the control pressure.

For me, however, there is (at least) one exception. When I think I'm
in level cruise, but I notice a very slight residual climb or descent
(e.g., maybe 100 ft over a few minutes), it's usually easier and more
accurate in my Cherokee to just give the trim crank a slight nudge,
than it is to try to move the yoke then retrim.
