PITCH TRIM
PITCH TRIM handwheel................................................... ...........................................................S ET
Set takeoff CG on pitch trim handwheel.
Same thing here, in my SOP, in the after start flow, the stab trimm should be set following the CG for take off, which should be compared using the TO CG from the loadsheet and the GW CG displayed in the FUEL PRED page. In reality everybody keeps using the DN or UP figures from the load sheet because it is more straight forward, but it has already happened to me taking off using DN instead of UP of viceversa. It had almost NIL effect during rotation because the value of the trim itself was quite close to zero, but I can imagine it being somewhat of an issue with hight values.
