The LAA acceptance initial test flight requires an examination of the effect of
an electric trim runaway in both directions and at various aircraft speeds in
order to confirm that the aircraft remains controllable after leaving the trim
in a simulated runaway for 4 seconds before taking any action, which would be
to trip the CB to isolate the system. I have not tried to simulate a runaway
that takes the trim to the full extent of its travel.

Subject: Europa-List: Anyone experienced trim runaway?
Having taken the Ethiopian Airlines flight from Addis to Nairobi recently, the
recent B737 tragedy made me think about aircraft systems turning rogue If
theres
an electric trim runaway on the Europa (either nose up, nose down), is there
enough pitch movement in the column at normal C of G to contain it? Has anyone
had such experience? I seem to remember someone talking about it some years
ago, but cant find it in the thread.
