One stroke on the Trimwheel ~0.65° THS movement. (2 hydr. motors B+Y available)
So if trim is sitting at 13 degrees aircraft nose up direction and you need to get it down to around 4 degrees ANU to recover, it would take 13-14 strokes on the trimwheel.

Anyone have an idea how long that might take to execute? Does trim wheel motion keep pace with the THS position on its way down to reduced trim or can it get out in front of it and let the tail catch up?
