Runaway trim actuator
Can you please tell me what it means. I guess it is a kind of airplane malfunction, but I don't know precisely what is it about. Here's the context:
In the event of a runaway trim actuator, selection of either emergency trim switch to INT RPT will de-energize all three trim actuators simultaneously.

Hi,

A runaway piece of equipment is one that is not responding correctly to the operator (eg the pilot). Typically, it is behaving in a wild and possibly dangerous manner.
