Other question answered.......

These statements will clarify some questions asked.

The system compensates almost 100% for trim changes, due to speed and configuration changes. Trim
changes, due to thrust changes, can be too large for the system to compensate, and the aircraft may
respond to them in pitch, in the conventional sense, and then hold the new attitude at which it stabilized
after the trim change.
The pitch trim wheel moves as the control law compensates for these changes.
---------

IF TRIM LOCKED > 8 UP :
MAX SPEED....................................................... ............................................................ ...... 180 KT
If trim is locked above 8 degrees UP, pitch down authority may be insufficient for speed above 180 knots.
