Lorsque l’appareil avait accompli son vol de transfert vers la société chargée de sa maintenance, le pilote [...] avait réalisé un test d’assiette en mode direct par câble (manual reversion), c’est-à-dire sans utiliser les systèmes hydrauliques A et B et donc sans utiliser les ailerons permettant d'actionner la gouverne de profondeur (balance tabs). Il avait alors remarqué que la compensation en tangage (pitch trim) nécessaire pour maintenir l’appareil à son niveau de vol était dans les limites, mais de justesse. 4, record 1, French, - compensation%20en%20tangage
