## Discrepancy

ON TAKEOFF, WITH TRIM SET AT 37 PERCENT, RECEIVED A TRIM AURAL WARNING.  PERFORMED A STATIC RUNUP WITH TRIM SET AT 30 PERCENT AND ALSO GOT A TRIM AURAL WARNING.  REPLACED BOTH ELEVATOR TRIM PROXIMITY SENSORS WITH SERVICEABLE UNITS IAW EMB 120 MM 27-32-05.  OPS CHECKS GOOD AT THIS TIME.
