1. setting CG on the trim wheel (inner scale, somewhat harder to see)
2. Stab Trim on the trim wheel, or alternatively,
3. setting stab trim using the trim wheel but references the electronic lower screen display when flight controls page is up.
#3 seems better in a dark cockpit and allows both crews to better see it, in my opinion
Thank you
As per the after start checklist verbal reply should be “XX %” set hence using the reading on the scale. However I also prefer to cross-check with the UP/DN value on FCTL page. Don’t think there is any harm in that as an additional check?
