We DO NOT trim an aircraft full nose up for the flare, apply the required back pressure to raise the nose - two reasons:

If you have foolishly trimmed full nose up, and then choose to go around, you have a wrong handful, and added task of lots of untrimming to safely climb away. Secondly, you want to feel the backforce changes in the controls as you flare! It is that force which indicates your flare, which is the approach to a stall - you feel that!
Step turn

Some interpretations of what is being said are unbelievable who has suggested trimming full nose up? If you did that the aircraft would not be trimmed
I have suggested that a pilot before changing the configuration from the descent profile to a landing profile Slightly trims towards the neutral landing configuration
by adding a touch of back trim in the final area of the approach sector. and you will not get back force changes in an aircraft which is correctly trimmed ?

Then I get these wild and ludicrous statements?
