Let's see, one wearing a costume derides another wearing a costume for having more than one.

Do you think you have some manner of "call-sign?" A sussable ID?

This is an anonymous forum. You are straightforward and righteous, you have worn only one disguise?

The THS is inhibited >1.25, <.5. I mentioned .75. My Bad. I try attribution, and am "sowing pollution"?

"TRIMMABLE" HORIZONTAL STABILISER. That is not a correct designation, in design, practice, and Training. In fact, it is opposite what is trained.

What is trained is to leave the wheel alone, Only in DIRECT LAW challenge the virginity of the wheel and assault her with your palm.

NOT TRIMMABLE.

'TRIMMABLE' is an adjective, and describes a state of "readiness" or "availability".

"Subject to COMMAND". So the computer "commands" it, automatically, in its design. The PILOT is discouraged from COMMANDING it.

Parse? Words have meanings, and read with patience can be found to be used inappropriately, and perhaps dangerously so.

It is a TRIMMING Horizontal Stabiliser. In this discrepancy, patiently seen, can be a wealth of discussion as to how this system (AB) works, by design, application, and culture.

TRIMMABLE.....Optional. TRIMMING......MANDATORY.

In the climb, the pilot commanded NOSE UP, and the THS did not move. The THS was responding ("not responding") per design, not part of PF's quiver, for the moment (his 'bad').

At STALL, the THS responded immediately, and to the maximum, NOSE UP.

By DESIGN. Responding to PF NOSE UP? Or to gain loading for the airframe when it was less than 1g? Both?

Later, it went 'Dormant' at NOSE UP all the way down.

Posit. The a/c was UPSET at the loss of a/p, and LOC happened soon after ~ . With LOSS OF CONTROL, a design that trims in elevator for its retention when maneuvering is the order of the day? Hmmm.....

The THS, as it moves, changes the flight characteristics of the airframe, it changes the ANGLE OF INCIDENCE of the aircraft, as well as its PITCH.

This is why ANGLE OF INCIDENCE is considered separate from AoA, for it is a critical component of AIRCRAFT ATTITUDE.

Until one separates these two concepts AOI, AOA, the manner of control cannot be explained.

The HS is a VARIABLE INCIDENCE TAILPLANE, and focusing on its elevator chasing is missing the point, in a deadly way. Is this trained? Or is the training, merely, "don't touch that", and on your way?
