Our SOP's call for a full control check as well as an electric elevator trim check before every take off.
also now all 3 trims manually to full delection and back to zero on the morning preflight.
as far as the AD that was issued from Raytheon about the elvator stop bolts after this accident:
I have heard rumors that numerous aircarft were found to be out of limits. does anyone else know?
and cents.
