231 - ATPL Question Bank in English - For an aeroplane in trim with an adjustable horizontal stabiliser, which general statement about elevator deflection relative to the stabiliser is correct?

Question 231 - Principles of Flight - ATPL - Airline Transport Pilot Licence

The elevator deflection (compared to the stabilizer position) is always zero.

At a forward CG the elevator is deflected upward and at an aft CG the elevator is deflected downward.

It can depend on speed, flap and slat configuration, CG and the trim system; it need not always be zero.

The elevator is always deflected slightly downwards in order to have sufficient remaining flare capability.
