Ground Checks - Trim Neutral gives same result irrespective of the actual trim value.

Hello,

 

I'm having trouble with this Ground check, as you can see it gives the same speech when trim is minimum, maximum or zero:

 

 

Is this a bug?  .. or I'm doing the check wrong?

Thanks,

Hi, during this check only the ailerons (roll) and rudder (yaw) are checked by the crew chief (or WSO). So the stabilator position (pitch) won't be taken into account. The stabilator trim operation is verified only by checking if the needle in the cockpit moves. If you would like to learn more about the details of the ground checks, I highly recommend this chapter of our manual: https://f4.manuals.heatblur.se/crew_chief/overview.html Cheers

Hi, thanks a lot and re-reading the manual I understand it now, the GC only checks for rudder and aileron trim. I misunderstood it and assumed that pitch trim was also included on the check. thanks again and best regards,
