I wonder if anyone had this exercise in the simulator or has ever discussed it
An A320 Stabiliser jam due to pitch trim wheel jam will not bring on an ECAM ( as opposed to FCCs detecting loss of electrical Control of stabilizer which will bring on an ECAM)
The control laws remain normal in this case .
What would be the aircaft behaviour in this case to make the pilots understand that there is pitch trim wheel jam ?
I consider that the elevator will be working more to keep the desired pitch.
But since there is no ECAM , since the control laws remain normal , and since the pitch trim wheel movement ( or lack of it in this case ) is largely unnoticed what would prompt the pilots to understand that there is something wrong?
