Adjust trim and return to the desired flightpath.
Adjust trim and return to the desired flightpath.
Bottom line
Trim helps to relieve adverse control pressures and assists in maintaining a proper pitch attitude. After attaining the appropriate airspeed and adjusting pitch attitude for a climb, the pilot should “rough trim” the airplane to relieve any adverse control pressures. More precise trim adjustments can be made when flight conditions have stabilized.
