ELECTRIC TRIM SYSTEM (IF INSTALLED) The S-TEC Electric Trim System is designed to accept any single failure, either mechanical or electrical, without uncontrolled operation resulting during operations in the Manual Electric Trim Mode. During autotrim mode the system is designed to limit the effect of any failure causing trim operation. In order to assure proper operation of these safeguards, it is necessary to conduct a simple pre-flight test of the system. Following is the trim pre-flight test procedure: ELECTRIC TRIM CHECK (IF OPTIONAL AUTOTRIM IS INSTALLED) Manual Electric Trim - Test Prior to Each Flight a. b.
