The basic components of the dcp(differential collective pitch) trim system are the dcp(differential collective pitch) actuator in the flight controls closet, the speed trim amplifier in the heater compartment, and the pitot system. The dcp trim system converts airspeed information from the pitot system, through the speed trim amplifier, to an electrical signal which controls the extension or retraction of the dcp actuator. 2, record 1, English, - speed%20trim%20amplifier

Un «pitch trim actuator» peut parfois être un vérin compensateur de Mach, mais il existe de nombreux avions auxquels la notion de Mach ne s'applique pas, mais qui sont quand même munis d'un «pitch trim actuator». Ce serait le cas, par exemple, du très populaire Dash8. Dans ce cas, on parlerait de «vérin de compensateur de profondeur», par exemple. Sur de nombreux avions, il n'y a pas de vérin distinct pour la compensation de Mach, mais simplement un circuit qui agit sur le compensateur de profondeur quand le centre de poussée recule à mesure que la vitesse de l'écoulement sur l'aile s'approche de la vitesse du son. 2, record 2, French, - v%C3%A9rin%20compensateur%20de%20Mach
