Trim question

I am not sure why. When I am in a high-speed (>600 knots) low-alt flight (<200ft), obviously, I have a hard time keep the nose level. So I try to use trim down to achieve this, as some how autopilot does not work with auto-waypoint (may be another topic for another time), but it does not seem to work. (I have the controller indicator on for reference) However, it still works in the final approach with full flaps and landing gear down.

What gives?

I Fly, Therefore I Am.

One cannot go around not saying "Thank you" every time these days, can't you?

Nose up/down trim is non-functional behaves differently during normal flight (FCS seeks to maintain 1.0G, based on commanded target G), and becomes operational behaves in a target-AoA mode in landing configuration (gear down, flaps either HALF or FULL) to set the desired AoA.

It is absolutely functional. I just trimmed myself in to a constant 4G turn to test it.
