How many of you know what the stab trim range is in normal flight on your type. Might be a good time to pay attention to where your most powerful flight control spends most of its time. I know for our ops, the 800NG lives between 5 and 6 just about all of the time.

If the jet is doing something you don't want with a flight control, do something about it. I would call it a runaway, you can call it what you want. Yes, the trim moves a lot when hand flying, but it never moves enough to need substantial column input to counter it.
