Great point PJ.

In addition to awareness of the number of manual turns required per unit of trim, I noted with interest in one of Mentour’s YouTube videos the difference in ability between him and the RHS pilot when it came to rotating the wheel.

He did it easily and rapidly while simultaneously pulling control column back pressure. But the RHS pilot had considerable difficulty.

There is obviously “technique” involved, which may come with practice.

Manual trimming is not regularly practiced in my airline... I think I’ve tried it once in the type rating.
