It certainly got me thinking gonebutnotforgotten.
I took off this morning in a light 737-800 with plenty of thrust and paid close attention to what I was doing with the trim and yoke as I cleaned up.
A fair amount of fwd trim was required, but I noticed that I was automatically ( without thought) reducing the pressure on the yoke so that it came back towards neutral as the trim was going in.
It seemed it is a natural thing to do even though I confess my understanding of what was happening was low prior to reading your article.
Do you think, or is it your experience, that in an extreme ANU situation I would have kept the yoke forward and then as the nose came down towards the horizon had to apply large back pressure to prevent an extreme AND?
Is that what you see in the sim?
