one last, then I promise I'll leave you alone for awhile.

Why is "USE MANUAL TRIM ONLY" (I have no quote function, so if I misquote you, please understand). "Big Trouble". ? Why is this TRIM only for Pitch control?

iF EFCS is inop, and mechanical back up only, are you saying the elevators are inop also? Pitch must be managed by Trim Wheel alone?

If that is telling of my ignorance, so be it, but shouldn't an a/c in trouble have elevators? Not a slow, massive Tailplane alone?
