When the STAB TRIM override switch is positioned to OVERRIDE, electric trim can be used regardless of control column position. The control column activated cut out switches are bypassed. [my emphasis]
Anyone know whether the Max is more-or-less the same? I.e., you can have tripped the cut-out switches, but their cut-out effect can be overridden?
Not the same switch. Stab trim CUTOUT shuts electric trim off. Stab trim OVERRIDE lets you trim in the opposite direction of stick movement.
