How do I trim the nose up?

How do I trim the nose up?

• A. Switch forward
• B. Switch aft (backwards)
• C. Turn knob counterclockwise
• D. Push the stick up

Answer: (B)

Trimming nose up means adjusting the stabilizer so the airplane tends to fly with the nose higher, reducing the need for continuous back-stick pressure. On the DA20-C1, nose-up trim is achieved by moving the trim switch toward the back (aft). This small electric trim adjustment changes the stabilizer position to hold a higher nose attitude without holding the control stick back. Pushing the stick up is a direct pitch input, not a sustained trim setting; switching the trim forward would trim nose down, and turning a knob isn’t the trim method used here.
