Ukraine's State Aviation Service reported in their delayed monthly newsletter that the trim setting had been computed at 1.5 units, however had been set to 1.7 units. The investigation revealed that the scale was done in a way that depending on pilot's viewing angle a misreading of the indications of up to 0.25 units could occur. While the aircraft was taxiing for takeoff the commander raised doubt about the trim setting and increased the trim setting reaching 2.54 units. The takeoff configuration warning is set to issue an alert if the trim setting is below 0 units or above 2.5 units.
