Aircraft flight control trim systems must be designed and installed so that the...

pilot can control the aircraft manually without trim
pilot can determine the relative position of the trim tab from the cockpit
trim system can operate automatically without pilot input
trim tabs are adjustable from the ground only

The correct answer is: pilot can determine the relative position of the trim tab from the cockpit

The correct answer is B because it ensures that the pilot has the necessary information to control the trim tab from the cockpit. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not address the important aspect of allowing the pilot to have control over the trim tab. Option A assumes that the pilot will not need to use the trim tab at all, which is not always the case. Option C assumes that the trim system can operate independently without any input from the pilot, which could be dangerous if the pilot needs to make adjustments. Option D limits the control of the trim tab to the ground, which is not ideal during flight. Therefore, option B is the best choice because it provides the necessary information for the pilot to control the trim tab safely and efficiently during a flight.
