Poe's law 'n all that -- are you serious? I mean, yes, I've seen the video, but presumably it won't be safe to require pilots to execute the manual trim, yeah?

Poe's law 'n all that -- are you serious? I mean, yes, I've seen the video, but presumably it won't be safe to require pilots to execute the manual trim, yeah? IMO either the design is unsafe and must change or there exists a way to safely fly without ever needing manual trim.
- Merrill 8y agoI'm serious. If the final backup system is to revert to mechanical cranks, pulleys, and cables to move the horizontal stabilizer, then the pilots have to be able to exert sufficient torque and power on the control wheels to do so.
