Pitch Trim Authority

The discussion on pitch/power has been enlightening. Guess I shouldn't be surprised there's so much misunderstanding in this group, as just now A&B are admitting power alone does not give you speed to recover from a stall.

Next will be the realization by A&B that trimming the tail to maintain altitude is wrong if your power is limited, as in the case of the Flight Test A330, TK951, etc. I expect some serious limits will be introduced to prevent trimming that presently takes the plane into a stall.
