Runaway Stabilizer Condition: Uncommanded stabilizer trim movement occurs continuously. That's the leading statement in Boeing's checklist. At some point you have to realize that it might not be continuous but it's certainly doing it again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, for a total of 28 times. All in the same direction. Uncommanded. Twenty eight times. Every time making it harder and harder to control the aircraft. It shouldn't be that confusing that the stabilizer nose down movement is related to the very heavy nose that's completely out of trim.
