To many of us old “walked uphill both ways to the airport and then used our shirts to patch the wing” pilots, we seem to have a modern trend of automation trying to counteract a lack of basic airmanship and then said automation goes wrong in ways the crew cannot figure out how to deal with*.
Even a relatively simple autopilot trim runaway is no fun to deal with. You need one hand to hold the yoke back with all your strength while mashing the trim disconnect, you run the trim back down with the other hand, and pull the circuit breaker for the trim motor with your third hand.
- I am guessing there is a maritime equivalent to that for sure!
