Question about trim

General

Hello everyone I hope y’all are doing well.

My question is how do we calculate the trim necessary for takeoff and landing on any aircraft ?

thanks in advance.

Welcome back!

For takeoff, anywhere between 20-25 percent is recommended, and 25-35 percent for landing.

Really about personal preferences though.

I spawn on the runway at weight Medium, and then guesstimate following previous experiences with similarly sized aircraft, though between 30/50% is what I use. If landing, I spawn on short final and start at 35%, and then adjust accordingly.

Trim is entirely dictated by your personal feel, as the aircraft in-game have a fixed center of gravity.

Really? Even if you only load front cargo?

Yes. The C/G doesn’t vary in the sim.
