6 / 15

Which of the following is not a stall protection feature?

The out-of-trim forces increase above normal for a condition above the minimum manoeuvre speed.

The pilot must apply continuous aft column force to maintain airspeed below the manoeuvring speed.

Use of alternate pitch trim levers reduces the column forces below the minimum manoeuvring speed.

Stab trim is inhibited in the nose up direction at approximately the minimum manoeuvring speed.

7 / 15

Which trim control is inhibited when the autopilot is engaged?

Trim control pitch

Control wheel pitch trim switches.

Alternate control pitch trim.
