Trim settings the same for takeoff and landing?
Lately I have made a more stringent attempt to trim the aircraft on approach
for landing, and I note that I often end up with a trim setting that is right inside the takeoff trim setting. Is this a coincidence, or something that is to be expected? |

So many variables. **Plane* for starters! Of course in simulators it will be the same. He doesnt' fly a plane where weight and balance issues come to play that affect trim settings like in my real plane. Ummm, for starters plane comes in lighter after a flight.... :-))) One other thing, I wouldn't have my trim set in the same spot on EVERY flight either :-))) as you allude above, more variables then just set trim and take off / land. |

Mark, you have failed to consider that in most lightplanes, the TO is made with FLAPS UP and landings are generally made with FULL FLAPS. Flaps require a really large trim adjustment, remember the GO-AROUND... the large trim change required immediately after applying power and raising the flaps? The difference between TO power and approach power also adds to this large trim change in propellor driven aircraft. Bob Moore ATP CFII PanAm (retired) |

Mark, you have failed to consider that in most lightplanes, the TO is made with FLAPS UP and landings are generally made with FULL FLAPS. True, that's all I've ever experienced. Flaps require a really large trim adjustment, remember the GO-AROUND... the large trim change required immediately after applying power and raising the flaps? Yes. I'm also trimming on each leg including final. The difference between TO power and approach power also adds to this large trim change in propellor driven aircraft. I certainly defer to your greater experience. It's speculation that a coincidence of airspeed has his trim set at the same place with take-off and landing, but...if he's just playing computer games, then this is all probably irrelevant, as simulation doesn't really translate to the real world. Thanks. --- Mark Bob Moore ATP CFII PanAm (retired) |

I found that I trimmed the aircraft to fly in what ever attitude I required at that time. I didn't make a point of examining where the pointer was . |

Heck, I lean forward or lean back and find myself having to adjust trim. You just know to adjust it, not look down and set at a predetermine setting and expect it to be the same setting on landing. Guess that's missed in the realism setting of 10 in MSFS LOL |
