Excellent analysis from The Shadow.Frightening though.I looked at this accident from the POV of a pilot of a real plane that does what you ask and never does things subtly without you knowing only to leave you unprotected at the worst moment possible.My mistake.So auto trim is not so cool after all.I wont comment further because it will be bad for my blood pressure.I see the pilot's predicament in a new light though after the Shadow's post and I think it is definitely mitigating.
