Are you talking about during landing approach? The trim will offer little adjustment then, you use POWER to adjust the nose up, nose down attitude of the aircraft.

Thank you papa-metro.      That's certainly one way of doing it.     Personally, I've always preferred the old fashioned way of controlling rate of descent by the stick and speed by the throttle.       Using either technique, however, a pilot should be able to trim out 'out-of-trim' stick forces at all speeds.
