No, I am relying upon the preliminary report from the accident flight and it does not have any detail of where the stab trim went to before they did the stab trim NNC. Perhaps they thought that waiting to hit the jacks crew stops (0 units) was not a wise idea. I would agree.
But what I do know is that they did the UAS drill, according to the report, managed to control the airspeed making manual trimming significantly easier compared to the accident flights roaring around at Vne and flew to their destination with manual trim and in stick shaker.
In other words, they did exactly what was expected of them as professional aviators.
