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
After some incidents of setting UP instead of DN and vice versa Airbus changed to setting by percentage. In percentage little more or less is not as critical as setting down instead of up. Besides the MCDU page also shows it in %.
