46.128: Bob Gardner wrote If the switches are in parallel and one of them develops an internal short circuit, you will still have trim runway; if they are in series, both must be closed simultaneously. Sounds like a dumb idea to me, but check with a mechanic or radio shop for a knowledgeable answer...I'm not sure that I would expect the Chief Pilot to be the expert on electrical questions. Bob...if they are anything like I flew in the Boeings, one switch powers the trim motor, and the second engages a drive clutch. They're not the same. Actually, if you remember, if you got an out of sequence operation of the two pickle switches (never flew the 70-, but the others are lke this) you got the trim wheel brake to engage with a clatter.
