Of course, sometimes pilots *do* forget... thus the number of take-off

Maybe in jets or King Air's but not spam cans.



Unclear. What are you claiming doesn't happen in small planes?


I can set the trim fully up or down in my Bonanza and the 182 I had
before that and take off or land just fine. It's no fun but the plane
is not out of control.
