Incident: American B38M near Nassau on Mar 29th 2021, pitch trim issue/failure
"- A component of the main electric trim system became inoperative. Our pilots ran the appropriate checklist, which included manually trimming the aircraft. They returned to MIA and landed uneventfully. The issue was not related to MCAS."Indeed. This was a part failing on an aircraft in flight. It landed without incident, and was likely never in any sort of danger. Losing electric trim is an annoyance but also trims safety margins by, as I understand it, making autopilot impossible. So, it's good that they returned.If this had happened on a 767 or A320 we'd never have heard about it.
