"Regarding the S-76 trim and IFR limits, the reason the trim is needed is that the IFR requirements demand that there be a stick force vs speed cue to the pilot, so that any increase in speed causes a rearward stick force to be felt by the pilot. This force comes from the stick trim, so no stick trim, no IFR."
Is this not a function of the PBA?
