D. Mach Trim:
The autopilot employs elevator control to provide the aircraft with Mach
trim. Mach trim is necessary because at high speed flight the center of lift
on the wing transits aft with increases in speed, producing a nose down
pitch moment termed Mach tuck. The autopilot electrically repositions the
elevator trim to neutralize the nose down force. Mach trim is an automatic
function of the Flight Guidance Computers.
NOTE:
The autopilot does not have to be engaged to provide
Mach trim. Automatic Mach trim is available whenever
the PITCH TRIM ENG/DISENG switch is engaged.
3. Controls and Indications:
