No, this is not universally true. I've flown airplanes where this is
not true, and clearly so has Robert Moore. These are certificated
airplanes ranging from light piston singles to transport category
multiengine jets.

Oh, if you keep doing it long enough, yes, you will eventually feel
something - but if you depend on this as your primary cue, you will
never get it right. You just need to know which way to adjust the
trim, and you need to keep moving the yoke to maintain pitch attitude.

Pilots are trained to trim to reduce yoke pressure -- it is obvious
and becomes instinctive. Sims of the everyday variety do not provide
that feedback.

And neither do some airplanes. If you are trained to depend on that
cue, you are SOL in those planes.

We do not live in a single cue world.

Well then, once you get to the point of having no pressure on the yoke,
what's the point of trimming any further?
