- Does Mac Move The Manual Trim Wheel Move On The 737 Max Reviews
Sep 20, 2017 In the NGX, I can hear the trim wheel and have to constantly readjust my trim setting which is perpetually moving noise-down. In the 777 and QOTSII, the trim moves full nose down quick. It wants to stay there and goes right back when I adjust the trim back up. How does trim work on an A320? Since the trim wheel does have direct mechanical link, it turns as the ELACs (or SECs) adjust trim. Unlike 737 they are. Mac gray web smart card center manual. Trivia: On the 737-100 to 500, the stab trim control wheels should be mounted with their white marks 90 +/- 15 degrees apart from the other wheel, so that in the event that the trim wheel handles need to be used, one handle will be in an accessible position (AMM 27-41-64, Page 402). This is not so for the 737-NG (27-41-61, Page 401).
A recent halt in flight testing of Boeing Co.' S (NYSE: BA) 737 MAX 8 (737-8) has focused attention once again on the company's bread-and-butter passenger jet. Mac manual alarm call point. Boeing lists seven models of its 737. This is a manual way of trimming and is normally not used. The main electric trim is the second way in which the stabilizer is moved. The main electric trim is operated through two switches that can be moved up and down on the control wheel. The trim switches move the trim wheel and uses the same system as the stabilizer trim.

$begingroup$In the very interesting answer from Jan Hudec to a question about the various flight control computers on Airbus planes, two different means to trim the aircraft are mentioned: The stabiliser and the elevator.
How does this work in practice? How is the aircraft trimmed in flight, both as seen from the flight deck (i.e., the user interface to the pilots) and as actual input to the control surfaces?

The faster an aircraft is, the wider range of elevator deflections it needs. And so do aircraft with large change of weight (amount of fuel used) during flight. However larger elevator deflection causes higher drag. It is more efficient to move the whole horizontal stabilizer instead. Therefore jet aircraft generally have the forward part of the horizontal stabilizer movable.
Now it would be possible to simply have the whole stabilizer move. And supersonic aircraft generally have just that. It is called stabilators. However having the stabilizer split lends itself to elegant solution for trim.

This takes advantage of the fact, that the aerodynamic forces tend to put the elevator in the position of lowest drag almost straight (slightly bent in direction of less lift) behind the forward part. So when the forward part is moved, the lift changes without changing the force on the elevator. Manual delete hisotry safari mac. So the elevator is used for the small adjustments where the elevator is intended to return to the neutral position, which the aerodynamic forces help with, and the stabilizer is used to trim for current airspeed.
In aircraft with mechanical controls, the elevator force (or a fraction of it via power drive) acts directly back on the control column and the pilot can feel it, while the horizontal stabilizer is actuated via mechanism that holds selected position (may be electrical with jack-screw like on DC-9 or hydraulic, but with no feedback) and connected to the trim, which is usually pair of large wheels on the sides of the centre console.
Now in Airbus A320 and all newer models the side-stick does not have mechanical link and the pilot does not feel the force on the elevator anyway. In normal law, the ELACs automaically adjust the elevator and stabilizer so that with side-stick in neutral position, the aircraft maintains 1 G vertical acceleration and therefore straight flight (at any flight path angle). Since the trim wheel does have direct mechanical link, it turns as the ELACs (or SECs) adjust trim.
However the distinction between elevator and trim is still useful in case of failure. When the system degrades into direct law, the side-stick position corresponds to the elevator deflection and the trim wheel position corresponds to the stabilizer position. Since the side-stick still returns to neutral position, the distinction of using the elevator for momentary adjustments and trim to balance the aircraft to fly (approximately) straight at current speed holds (just because the side-stick is spring-loaded, the force needed to deflect it does not increase with speed as it does for mechanical controls).

$endgroup$$begingroup$It is fully hydraulic, the active power is the hydraulic even when you act directly on the wheels, that’s why there is no handles to the Wheels, the wheels will control a valve block to drive the screw.
There is no thumb switch to operate the trim, when you move the stick the elevators are operated for short term action to get the desired load factor, followed by the trim which moves automatically to maintain that load factor, and replaces at long run the elevators effect, thus at long run the THS and the elevators are aligned which reduces the drag.
