Post Landing Elevator Trim

[WisamH]

Hi Team,

Regarding the current behaviour of elevator trim after landing/rollout is that it will automatically set to a value that will enable based on THS. 

Based on observation IRL, the elevator trim should be set to neutral (I believe 4 degrees up).

Can this be looked into and whether this logic needs to be corrected.

Thanks,

Wisam

I will ask the team, thank you.

Are you able to get media of this happening in the mean time, if not I'll try to get around to it, thank you 🙂

Hi @IniJamir,

Please find below video.

Once the aircraft vacates the runway you can see the trim going into the neutral position. Noting this is the same behaviour on both the -900 & -1000.

Thanks,

According to FCOM (-900 variant):

After landing, the pitch trim will move to 0,8° (maintenance position) when the speed goes below 30 kt.

The maximum THS deflection is between 0.8° and 13.7° nose up, so the correct after landing setting would be the lower end of the THS range (leading edge of the THS moves fully up). At the moment, the after landing setting on the Inibuilds aircraft seems to be 2.0° nose up, so there is something to be fixed there.

My apologies I meant a video in the simulator

Do you have that page of the FCOM so I can send it along to our team alongside media of the aircraft in sim, failing to do so, if not no worries, I just have to find time to grab it

Hi @IniJamir,

Snippet below. After rolling out, the elevator trim is going to the optimal THS setting below the PFD not the neutral/maintenance position.
