Arrange these steps in trimming an aeroplane after a flap selection:

1. Flap is lowered and the pitching moment changes

2. The aeroplane pitches and the pilot holds the attitude with elevator

3. A stick force is now present at the new condition

4. The pilot adjusts the trim to remove that force

5. The aeroplane holds the new condition hands off

Select the correct sequence.

  • A.1, 3, 2, 4, 5
  • B.1, 2, 4, 3, 5
  • C.1, 2, 3, 4, 5
  • D.2, 1, 3, 4, 5

Answer: C

The trim change on flap selection is a characteristic of each type that a pilot learns during conversion. Trimming removes the force rather than the deflection, which remains whatever the new balance of moments requires.
