Discussion
Trimming an aeroplane removes the elevator deflection. True or false?
Answer: C
Correct answer: False, it removes the stick force instead
Trimming adjusts a tab or the tailplane incidence until the aerodynamic hinge moment is balanced, so the pilot can release the column. The elevator itself generally remains deflected.
At most trimmed conditions a download is needed at the tail to balance the wing's nose-down pitching moment, so the surface sits several degrees from neutral. Correct rigging does not change this - a correctly rigged trim tab zeroes the force at whatever deflection the condition requires.
