Which means that the electric breaks must be electric disengaged to be able to move the mechanical trim wheel. How is this done?

Can't be done EDLB. If it could be done it might one day help somebody. As a matter of fact it could be done on the MD-80 - one control was the brake and one the motor.

Tried it. Basically, once you get it so fast the nose can't be held up with the Yoke on the back stop. Closing the throttles, causes a nose drop and the rate is sufficient that you will not lose any speed to regain control. We froze the sim with 9,500fpm showing...... Done at about 15,000ft.
Quite sobering.


Thanks for the info RVF. Buy you a beer one day!!
