Trim in the longitudinal sense means

  • A.Holding the desired condition with zero elevator deflection
  • B.Flying at the maximum lift coefficient
  • C.Setting the aeroplane's centre of gravity
  • D.Holding the desired condition with zero stick force

Answer: D

The elevator is generally deflected at the trimmed condition, and it is the force that has been reduced to zero rather than the deflection. Confusing the two is a common misunderstanding of what trimming actually achieves.
