Please accept my apology if this is covered elsewhere. I've checked the manual and other sources online.

How do you set the trim for takeoff? It seems to be permanently set at 5.0. I can't see a knob or dial. Or perhaps unlike the A320 family I don't need to do this?

I just saw on the takeoff calculator for my last flight it said 4.2 nose down but I wasn't able to input it.

Many thanks all for your generous help.

Hi,

The Airbus A220 does not have a physical pitch trim wheel in the cockpit. Instead, pitch trim is controlled by electric rocker switches located directly ontop of each sidestick.

You will need to bind pitch trim up/pitch trim down in your simulator to a specific keybind of your choice.

Hope this helps.

Thanks!
