Mark, you have failed to consider that in most lightplanes, the TO is made with FLAPS UP and landings are generally made with FULL FLAPS. Flaps require a really large trim adjustment, remember the GO-AROUND... the large trim change required immediately after applying power and raising the flaps? The difference between TO power and approach power also adds to this large trim change in propellor driven aircraft. Bob Moore ATP CFII PanAm (retired) Failed to consider?

As such I depend on IFR most of the time, and find weather related cancellations happening about 8% of the time (icing, embedded thunderstorms are deal busters forecasted wx below minimums are rare). Anything less than a complex single would not fit my airplane's mission and my board of directors agrees with me that the evidence is a self piloted light twin would not be much, if at all, safer. I have learned some useful things in this group, and read a huge amount of crap from pseudo experts. In general if I think someone is wrong I will tell them so. Whether they believe me is up to them. I think your trimming ideas are in error and told you why, You can accept that or not. In any event, a badly or incorrectly trimmed airplane is a pain in the ass to fly, but in my view costs only airspeed and increased difficulty in unusual attitude recoveries but is otherwise not a safety issue. |

... I think your trimming ideas are in error and told you why, You can accept that or not. In any event, a badly or incorrectly trimmed airplane is a pain in the ass to fly, but in my view costs only airspeed and increased difficulty in unusual attitude recoveries but is otherwise not a safety issue. You are wasting your key strokes. Particular individuals are convinced that MSFS is "realistic" and thus, what they observe about trim in thier video game must translate to real life. In a PC simulator, when you change the trim, it changes the mapping between the stick position and the simulated elevator position as opposed to real life where the trim changes the forces on the stick. In the game, when you trim, you MOVE the stick (or yoke) back to the "center" position. In real life, when you change the trim, you DON"T MOVE the stick (or yoke). Untill these people recognize these simple, basic facts about the hardware differences, they will never understand how trim works. -- Geoff The Sea Hawk at Wow Way d0t Com remove spaces and make the obvious substitutions to reply by mail When immigration is outlawed, only outlaws will immigrate. |
