Airplane Trim In Depth

A Detailed Explanation of How Trim Changes the Way an Airplane Flies. I briefly review the purpose of trim as a yoke-force relief mechanism and how that's accomplished in typical aircraft, such as with an elevator trim tab. But then I do a deep dive into what happens to the airplane and how you fly it once you adjust trim. This is to understand from first principles what effect trim is having aerodynamically on the airplane. Armed with that knowledge, you can now better understand what's meant by procedural rules of thumb like “trim for airspeed”. Nothing here changes cockpit procedures. It simply explains why they work. If you’ve ever wanted a deeper, physics-based mental model of trim — and flight aerodynamics more generally - as a pilot or serious flight simmer — this video is for you.
