The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot departed mqi and indicated that takeoff, pattern segment, banner “pick”, and climb out enroute were normal. Upon configuring for the advertisement segment of the flight, he was unable to adjust nose down trim. Pilot, after noticing the discrepancy returned to kmqi, released the banner, and landed.
