MrSnuggles,
Thank you for the clarification. That makes better sense.
Looks like the guy flying was trying too hard to chase an illogical PFD display.
If the plane has been flying in stable flight with the trim set, why would you be running in a bunch of trim manually once control has been dumped in your lap? Zero g in cruise? That can't be good !
Sit back and size up the situation before you set out on your course of action. At least that is what I was taught.
