Wow, when I was 10 years old, I was adjusting the angle of the tail section of my paper plane to make it fly more leveled. I just learned thet I was adjusting trims of my paper plane :)

The way trim tabs work has seemed SO counterintuitive to me - I've read and watched everything I could find in hopes of better understanding how they work. You're the ONLY one that has made me understand what's going on. I now think of it this way: the control surface might fly the airplane, but the trim tab flies the control surface. THANK YOU, you just made getting through ground school easier!

Thank you for explaining that. I almost was thinking that there was a fault with my flight simulator setup. The action is on the elevator and not directly on the air, hence the trim tab moves in a way that is not intuitionally simple.

@ForThepeoplechartersLlc Жыл бұрын
solid video. I would just say that none of these surfaces are "pushing air" when the shape of the wing become more flat it reduces lift and there for lowers causing the nose to rise. when you adjust the trim in the opposite direction to cause the elevator to move down, that increases pressure below the the wing there for increasing lift, causing the nose to dive.

Thanks. I would comment that it's not the case that pitch always controls airspeed and power always controls altitude. Each one can affect speed or altitude ("pitch+power=performance"). It's just that in certain situations (such as high drag, high angle of attack), pitch is more effective in controlling speed than is power (we call pitch "primary" for airspeed in that situation). But when flying an ILS approach, it's easier to think of power as more effective to control speed.

Now I understand. I got this question wrong on the exam because it is not intuitive at all especially to a boater. Now I see your video and it makes sense. Raising the trim tab pushes the elevator down causing the nose to down. The trim tab does not move the plane, it moves the elevator.

@ToastLord422 ай бұрын
Rather than seeing trim as up and down I see it as forward and back. Therefore: pushing *forward* on the yolk or rolling *forward* on the trim results in the aircraft pitching down & pulling *back* on the yolk or rolling *back* on the trip pitches the aircraft down. Edit: I wrote that with the video paused right after he said if you're trinking of it as up and down you are lost XD

Thank you for the informative video. I learned a lot here. I have question plz. Cessna doesn't come with Rudder trim, correct? The reason I'm asking this is that when I'm flying the same way in the video with trim adjusting, the plane keeps banking to the right. No wind is applied and gravity in the center of the plane. Any idea? Thank you again...
@jeffschaefer72234 жыл бұрын
Many Cessnas do not have a cockpit-adjustable rudder trim. But they will still have a rudder trim. Look for a metal tab on the back of the rudder. It is somewhat triangular. Don't touch it! This is meant to be adjusted by a mechanic on the ground. When you are experiencing your issue with bank, look at the ball. If it is not centered, apply rudder until it is. If the plane continues to bank then you have an aileron trim issue. Many cessnas do not have aileron trim either. If this is happening in the simulator you can often add a button for aileron trim even if the real plane doesn't have it. You might also check if your fuel is balanced and your joystick calibration and null zone. I hope this helps.

It really fascinates me when people play flight sims and opt for a Cessna (or any other civilian aircraft, really). I mean it's a simulator. You could be flying an F-35B, F/A-18C, F-16C or even just a B-1B or B-2. (Then again I mostly play shooters, so maybe i am not a pilot at heart and just love things that blow stuff up, lol)

@coviron21. Hope this makes it clear how it works. If your elevator was jammed using the trim wouldn’t help you control the plane.
@igclapp11 ай бұрын
Well, in the case of a jammed elevator the trim tab might have a slight effect acting as a small elevator. But it would work in reverse. Moving the trim wheel foward would cause the nose to rise.

The description until 0:58 is confusing: the yoke is pushed forward , elevator is down, the elevator surface air pressure reduces. The air from the bottom of the elevator pushes the tail up and the nose down? The video talks about the air above the elevator pushes the air down?

It's only on one side for simplicity. Putting another one on the other side is not needed and would add cost, weight, and might potentially be less reliable because there is more to go wrong.
