When the conventional a/c (Airbus) is flying, it gets to change what is effectively the Angle of Incidence of the HS, but when the a/c gives it back to the pilot, he has to control Pitch with what amount essentially to "Trim Tabs" (elevators). Manually "trimming" the big slabs back to a neutral AOI, is an extra task to get the a/c back to "neutral".
To some extent, when having been handed back an aircraft under these conditions, especially in (!) heavy turbulence, wouldn't just flying it on trim-wheel in pitch be a) possible b) a good idea c) having first 'clocked' its position at handback.
This is presumably an elevator control setup that is = = stick fixed in pitch when flown hands-off? Yes?
