Pontius; not a factor in the 777. How so?
If 777 uses autotrim follow-up, ‘a la’ Airbus, then autotrim presumably cuts out at touchdown. Even so, manual trim should be available during the late stages of an approach and flare. This would also be available on the ground; – setting trim before take-off. Or is this function only via a trim wheel and not a stick top electric trim?

My question was not directly about power-pitch coupling, it’s the aerodynamic pitching from reverse structures and/or spoilers which could be a factor, as they retract during a go-around after touchdown.
