B737 RUNAWAY STABILIZER SIM TRAINING

To expand on my initial question, could any former or current B737 pilots please describe how the Runaway Stabilizer simulator training was/is conducted at your airline .

To the extent that you could address any or all of the following, that would be appreciated:

• In what phase of flight is the problem usually presented?

• How was the runaway manifested (eg trim wheel suddenly starts running and control column forces build)?

• What (if any) alarms or cautions present themselves?

• Typically, does the runaway respond to the control wheel trim switch inputs?

• Typically was the Runaway Stabilizer thrown at you in isolation or concurrently with other significant non-normals?

• And perhaps most importantly, could you please comment on how frequently crews are normally exposed to Runaway Stabilizer in the sim? Elsewhere I've read that it might be as infrequently as once every two years.

Thanks in advance.
