tiger1962 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) What would cause the a320, 747 and 787 elevator trim to move with autopilot off? The Autopilot may be switched off, but the Fly-By-Wire system is always on. The control inputs go to the onboard computer first, which then sends modified signals to the control surface servos.
