Take off trim warning.

[Arink429]

Hi.

 

On NATOPS Performance manual, concerning Take Off Distance Charts, we can read:

"For take off weights greater than 45.000 lb, 10º nose up initial stabilator trim is recommended".

If we do so, the CHECK TRIM advisory message is shown. The game triggers this message with any stabilator trim setting lower than 12º.

As 10º is therefore considered as normal operation for heavy wheigts, Does the pilot take off with this message on the DDI, or should the message be triggered with Stabilator trim lower than 10º instead of 12º?

 

Thanks.

Part of the take off procedure is to use (press and hold) T/O Trim Button as per training materials released by ED. With WOW, holding the button pressed drives the roll and yaw trim to the neutral position, stabilator to 12° nose up, and zeros the MECH stick position.

Functional checkflight procedures in the NATOPS seem to imply the caution comes up with <12° nose up, or <13° nose up with the launch bar extended
