An uncorrected out of trim condition can be quickly fatal. On the light planes (piston and jet) I fly the arm force required to overcome an out of trim condition is considerable even for a modest amount out of trim. A failure of the electric trim control is a highly acute emergency and you should know at least two ways of immediately killing that system.
- rhombocombus 8y agoCountering trim forces was the first scary thing I learned about go-arounds, the first time I did one, my instructor let me figure it out all on my own, and battling heavy nose down trim when you're trying to make best climb is stressful in a training aircraft in a non emergency, I can't imagine what the forces are like in a large aircraft in an emergency.
