A trim runaway is not immediately obvious and requires a brief analysis of the situation prior to implementing a recall item that can easily be delayed with startle effect.
The initial application of rudder to counter an engine failure is very different and employs the same rapidly deployable muscle memory that a pilot has used on all twin types from the start of their twin flying.
