Centaurus
winding the stab trim fully forward before take off in the simulator. Of course the crew are briefed it is a training exercise with no surprises. The aurul warn C/B is pulled to silence the configuration warning
Scratching at fading memories here but isn't the range of the main electric trim on the 737 less than the full range of manual trim wheel inputs, hence full nose down trim will be unrecoverable without manual trim wheel input?
On the subject, if the trim setting is on the forward limit of the green band (so no take of configuration warning upon setting take off thrust) does that guarantee that there is sufficient elevator authority at Vr to initiate rotation?
