The trim assembly is of the jack-screw type. It can’t skip 43mm to full nose deflection to the left during an accident, as it has to be screwed over to that point. The take-off sequence indicated a condition that could have been a result of significant trim input and the post crash evidence found full deflection commensurate with this.
