Trim
The trim of the aircraft is adjusted with a green knob located on the left
side of the cockpit below the airbrake lever. The trim can be adjusted
when the trim knob is pressed downwards.
Moving the trim knob has the following effect on the elevator control:
•
Forward:
Nose down force
•
Backwards:
Nose up force
The trim locks in the set position when the downward pressure on the
knob is released.
