Has anyone considered the 5000kg's of fuel in the trim tank in cruise has an influence on the stall with regard to C of G?
Most of the times we practice stall recovery (in alternate law) in the sim, as per the new requirement, the stalling is done at a lower level than when aft trim fuel has taken place (FL255). I have not tried it with 5000kg in the trim tank at 38000ft yet. I reckon it is definitely not a pleasant outcome, however, we are all trained to avoid this and fly pitch angle and power setting.
