I don't believe the trim was left at full NL due to an interruption to a functional check. I don't believe this pilot would have been checking his trims with such zeal.
What is the basis for your disbelieving that the trim was left at full NL due to an interruption to a functional check?
And if the ATSB did its job and talked to the crew of the aircraft from the previous flight, and they swore ‘black and blue’ that the rudder trim was not left at full NL, what would your theory be then?
