Trim settings the same for takeoff and landing?
Lately I have made a more stringent attempt to trim the aircraft on approach
for landing, and I note that I often end up with a trim setting that is right inside the takeoff trim setting. Is this a coincidence, or something that is to be expected? |

So many variables. **Plane* for starters! Of course in simulators it will be the same. He doesnt' fly a plane where weight and balance issues come to play that affect trim settings like in my real plane. Ummm, for starters plane comes in lighter after a flight.... :-))) One other thing, I wouldn't have my trim set in the same spot on EVERY flight either :-))) as you allude above, more variables then just set trim and take off / land. |

I found that I trimmed the aircraft to fly in what ever attitude I required at that time. I didn't make a point of examining where the pointer was . |

Heck, I lean forward or lean back and find myself having to adjust trim. You just know to adjust it, not look down and set at a predetermine setting and expect it to be the same setting on landing. Guess that's missed in the realism setting of 10 in MSFS LOL |

Trim settings the same for takeoff and landing?
Several times, while flying from Denver to Salt Lake (direct) in my 182, the
air was so smooth that there was no sensation of movement at all, if I closed my eyes, and I could lazily climb or descend at 100 to 200 fpm just by leaning forward or back in my seat. At those times, it was a lot like flying a simulator, except MUCH more stable and with way better graphics! Jon wrote in message ...

In one plane I fly, the white line is pretty much worn off beyond recognition. ( I find it later after landing) --- Mark |
