John,

this is the value of the trim handle. By resetting it, if you become
momentarily distracted, you are less likely to let the nose float up.

I had an interesting trim quandry a few days ago. Should one
trim the AC-4c retract nose down or nose up for landing?

If nose down, then the pilot is less likely to accidentally stall
on landing. But as the two pilots before me put it on the
nose, perhaps there is a downside.

Trim nose up, and then after landing, one is less likely to pop it on
the nose. Just make sure to apply pressure forward for landing.

I'm a fan of more nose down trim than required for a certain airspeed,
so I constantly have a tiny back pressure while flying. Maybe
pulling is less tiring than pushing too...
