Pitch trim bindings

The Discord discussion describes a physical control activating an unexpected trim command ^[228].

Park and secure

For this ground test, secure the aircraft and keep the engines and thrust in an appropriate safe state.

Open control settings

Inspect each active profile

Inspect every connected controller profile, including throttles, yoke, stick, pedals and any external-control software.

Search for trim assignments

Yoke button → PITCH TRIM UP

Throttle detent → PITCH TRIM UP Duplicate? Investigate

Look for pitch-trim up, pitch-trim down and axis commands. Remove or temporarily disable duplicate assignments that should not control trim.

Check assistance

Record the original setting

Inspect the simulator assistance settings for auto-trim. Note the original setting and use a suitable manual-control profile for the comparison.

Watch the indication

With the aircraft safely secured, move each physical control through its range, including detents. Watch whether the indicated pitch trim changes without an intended trim command.

Test again

Restore one intended binding at a time and repeat the check. If the indication moves unexpectedly, investigate that device or assignment before the next practice flight.
