February 4, 200323 yr I'm getting this on my annunciator on the take-off roll. I'm assuming the aircraft is out of trim.How do you determine the trim setting?
February 5, 200323 yr Show the peddlestool and notice the green line on the trim indicator. This is where you will adjust trim in case you were not aware.Here's a snipet from Mark McGrath that is great for determining correct trim setting: The Zero Fuel Weight has been worked out drawn at a point = to the default PIC ZFW. It is in an INDEX position that I have worked out as PIC does not model how the aircraft is loaded.Add the fuel weight to the ZFW.From this find the Fuel Index. Round the Fuel Weight up to the next 1000 KGS. Note down the Index effect in the box below the ZFMI.Add the ZFMI and FI to get the TOW IndexLook at the graph.From the ZFW Line count the number of Index Units that The Fuel Differs by.Draw a vertical line at this new point.On this line mark a small horizontal line where the TOW intersects it.Notice the diagonal lines on the graph.Draw a line parralel to the diagonals at the horizontal line you just drew.Now you can see how many units of trim you need to add.Hope this helps.Mark McGrathBest Wishes,Randy J.

February 5, 200323 yr Rob,As a rough gouge, I use a setting of about 4 when the aircraft is light and more like 5 to 5.5 when it's heavy. This serves me well and will produce the desired neutral stick force at V2+15, or so, after rotation.Kevin in CYOW
