Trim settings the same for takeoff and landing?

Weight and balance issues are correctly simulated for the most part. And you know this by how?????? What tangible facts can you base this on your own experiences to know what you say above is true? My original question concerned the fact that I often find that my trim setting upon landing is also near the middle of the takeoff range, just as it was for takeoff. And this seems to happen even though I'm not looking at the trim indicator as I trim for my stabilized approach. I was just wondering if this is a coincidence, or something that is more or less to be expected. You would know the answer as I gave you the answer. Also read the answers others gave you as they gave you the answers too. WHY DID YOU ASK THE QUESTION IF YOU FELT MSFS SIMULATION WAS CORRECT for the most part??? Could it be it there is a high chance it doesn't reflect real flying?????? |

Ari Bloss embarasses himself again
People have noticed your obsession with me, and
who do you think looks crazy here? Actions speak louder than words (or...your lies), and we see you trapped, chained to your computer, fixated on "Mark". You need help Ari Bloss. |

In reality it should configure the airplane at a reasonable attitude for climb at full throttle with airspeed somewhere around best angle of climb. I can tell you for sure in a Mooney if the trim is correct for rotation it is soon going to be adjusted as airspeed moves up. |

(in other words, no trim) Mark Why would you think the take off mark on the trim wheel sets trim to neutral (whatever that means)? Because I do what my flight instructor tells me, as per the check list, and we don't set trim until I've achieved significant altitude. In reality it should configure the airplane at a reasonable attitude for climb at full throttle with airspeed somewhere around best angle of climb. Which is what we're doing. I can tell you for sure in a Mooney if the trim is correct for rotation it is soon going to be adjusted as airspeed moves up. Which is exactly what I do, readjust the trim to maintain straight and level at my desired cruising speed. --- Mark |
