In the Perpignan accident, manual pitch trim was not used.
In this accident, it would appear it was not used either.
The fact that the manufacturer left this manual pitch trim wheel in the cockpit does not exclude the fact that in real life, in real airlines, on board real airplanes, pilots are actually taught not to use it, and never use it, according to design.
The piloting quality one would get using for the first time in a highly dynamic, critical situation this item of equipment would likely be very poor, anyway.
