Comment: "Thanks to both of you for your comments - it's a tough one; I decided to go with Allan's suggestion - it fits, despite the fact that I agree with dusty that "consistent" is referring to the "tendencies" in this case. Thanks again :-)"

constant-trim polar
Well, of course I'm pretty sure about the 'trim' part, but I don't have a clue about the 'polar', or indeed, what phenomenon / feature this is actually referring to. I asume it is something like 'polar co-ordinates' --- you know, 'radius against angle'
I can see how that might apply to an aeronautical situation, though the connection with authorising and trim leaves me a bit puzzled.
