For those that performed trim runaway training in the sim, how was the exercice organized ?
Did the flight sim instructor throw in a surprise trim runaway in the middle of some other procedure, or was it just a matter of "now to the runaway trim", "Top, run the runaway drill !", "Good show, next exercice..." ?
Not exactly the same thing, is it ?
Additionally, any runaway would result in some degree of out-of-trim, otherwise that would not be a runaway. What degree of mistrim did you find manageable with the wheels ?
There must be a limit, albeit in the sim ?
