In the B737NG simulator...If the pilot flying is applying nose up elevator it is much harder for the pilot monitoring to move the manual stabiliser trim wheel.
If the pilot flying offloads the elevator it is much easier to apply manual trim...not sure if this applies at VNE.
Stab trim cutoff, manual trim (offload elevator if possible), < 250 knots flaps 1 then 5 (nose up pitch)?
