Centaurus, there is something about applying trim. The QRH tells you to " apply appropriate nose down stabiliser trim". There is an asterisk beside the statement that takes you to a warning note at the bottom of the page which tells you that excessive trim may lead to a loss of control.
The QRH trumps the FCTM.
I'm not saying it is well written or understood but to say that there is nothing about applying trim if unable to reduce attitude with elevator is incorrect and may mislead some readers.
