Trim Speed Explained

Did you ever wonder why an aircraft maintains its trim speed? Well, then this video is for you!
First, we hop into the cockpit and show what the real world aircraft does, when we increase or reduce power. Then we fire up FOFSIM and explain in great detail what's going on.
If you want, you can experiment yourself. FOFSIM runs in your browser without any installation and is free:

Fast track: If you want to experiment with trim speed, you can select the preset "Slow Flight" and then increase or reduce power.

This is a fantastic explanation. I'm a new student learning to fly and this helps a lot to understand how trim affects speed.

Thanks! I'm glad to hear that!

Beautifully explained. I've applied to flight school for this autumn. So, I'm pre-studying a bit to make it easier and faster to understand when I'm in class.

Thanks! If you are interested and devote some time for it, then you will surely make it. Interesting and exciting times lay ahead of you. Take your time and enjoy every bit of it! Just don't forget to look out of the window, don't get low and slow and don't fly into bad weather.

@@FlyingRagilein Thank you! I'm a huge aviation nerd so I'm sure I'll absorb the information like a sponge haha. Great advice, fly safe!
