Thank you, Track Diamond.

Aerodynamics For Naval Aviators is just that. Modern airliners do not operate near the region of reversed command!

Jock, let me get this straight...

You should not need to retrim the aircraft as it is still trimmed the same way as when you started the excercise.
Could you confirm that if you get fast whilst on the glideslope (for whatever reason-maybe a windshift), you will first pull the nose up to get back on speed and that this is what you would teach a newbe?
