I am having a issue when flying an ILS or GPS approach. When I lower gear at FAF I get pitch slip. My question is how do I increase trim speed while autopilot is on. I have the trim setting for below 150 KTS pretty fast now.

You could pre empt the configuration change by manually using the hat switch as I don’t think there is a simple way of doing it automatically . Just a manual ‘blip’ of trim should be sufficient .

I thought of that also. The problem is, when I fly the approach by hand I don’t need to re trim. Stick forces are so light it’s not a issue. Just wanted the auto trim to keep up with the small trim force that seem to cause the slip.
