On a personal note there was a major difference in handling pitch on the BAC1-11 and the B737. On the 1-11 pilots used the elevators to control pitch then trimmed out with the stabiliser trim. The 737 has a far larger stabiliser compared to its elevators and all pilots I ever flew with learned to fly the aircraft by blipping on the trim switch effectively using elevators almost exclusively only during take off approach and landing.

i would be unable to type this Reply if the above were true since my hands would’ve been chopped off by at least two generations of trainers. !! I think the name STAB TRIM is the clue. Quite seriously has anyone out there been trained to use the stab trim to control pitch? As opposed to trimming out the stick force ?
