Does Mac Move The Manual Trim Wheel Move On The 737 Max

Trivia: On the 737-100 to 500, the stab trim control wheels should be mounted with their white marks 90 +/- 15 degrees apart from the other wheel, so that in the event that the trim wheel handles need to be used, one handle will be in an accessible position (AMM 27-41-64, Page 402). This is not so for the 737-NG (27-41-61, Page 401). EASA’s checklist includes a number of issues that have been disclosed: the potential difficulty pilots have in turning the jet’s manual trim wheel, the unreliability of the Max’s angle of attack sensors, inadequate training procedures, and a software issue flagged just last week by the FAA pertaining to a lagging microprocessor. How does trim work on an A320? Since the trim wheel does have direct mechanical link, it turns as the ELACs (or SECs) adjust trim. Unlike 737 they are.

Aircraft Trim Wheel

  • Sep 20, 2017  In the NGX, I can hear the trim wheel and have to constantly readjust my trim setting which is perpetually moving noise-down. In the 777 and QOTSII, the trim moves full nose down quick. It wants to stay there and goes right back when I adjust the trim back up.
  • On Sunday I was scheduled to fly on three of the very first Southwest revenue flights utilizing the airline’s brand new 737 MAX 8. Unfortunately only one of the flights took place, as a technical issue prevented the plane from departing Houston Hobby (HOU) on its second flight.
