Yep, we use the trim on the yoke to set takeoff stab trim. Except...the yoke trim switches are faster than the handle bars, so sometimes when trying to set an exact number (ie 6.2) you get 6.0, then 6.4, then 6.0, then 6.4... If I am feeling really anal I will reach over and use the handle bars. The handle bars are two seperate bars, side by side. You have to move them both simultaneously to get the trim to move. They are spring loaded to the center position and it requires a bit of force.
Lose power to the CRTs? All of them?? There is a built in priority system so if you lost a CRT it would transfer data to another CRT. Certification requires being able to land at any stab trim setting.
