Water pilot:
This statement is exactly why I feel that we do not have the complete picture yet. When the trace shows that at least two different pilots did something completely counterintuitive (a few short bursts on the trim rather than holding it down) when they really, really wanted to make the plane go UP instead of DOWN, I think that there is a factor that we do not know about yet. I can't imagine anybody not continuously holding the "UP" switch when they see ground in the windshield, it is just not the way humans operate.
I still don't understand that 'noise' where there should be steady nose-up trim. Shaking stick suggested. Not convinced.
