AVFC 9 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Hello Aerosoft, A330 pitch trim is now automatically set to THS value on MCDU PERF TAKEOFF page after second engine start. Is this a new feature to reduce crew work load (and possible crew errors)? P3D v 4.5 A330 v 1.0.4.2 Checklist option disabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Secondator 643 Posted February 17, 2021 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted February 17, 2021 Yes, this is a feature on the real A330 as well. It has been part of our A330 for some time already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC 9 Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Thank you for clarification. To be honest, there is not much information on this in the A330 documentation.

A Step-by-step guide on the A330 would be nice. Error in documents....should be check in the A330. FCOM: NORMAL LAW PITCH: Ground mode is active on ground. It is a direct relationship between sidestick deflection and elevator deflection without auto trim. The THS is automatically set at 4 ° UP (inside the green band). Before departure, as soon as the three hydraulic systems are available, the THS is automatically set to the takeoff value, calculated by the PRIM, according to the ZFWCG entered in the MCDU and the fuel distribution. This automatic setting occurs only one time, and the flight crew can override it at any time. The rotation maneuver is flown in direct law, with full authority. Immediately after the aircraft becomes airborne, the flight mode is progressively blended in. The reverse process occurs after touchdown. NORMAL PROCEDURES - AFTER START: PITCH TRIM...........................................................................................................................CHECK Check the takeoff CG on the PITCH TRIM handwheel using the ECAM’s CG indication.
