Bangemout Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 CJ4 and other small jets seem to have an issue with wing stabilization, whereby, the aircraft seriously sways back and forth and is extremely difficult to control. How can this be tweaked/adjusted or fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinger2k2 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Just a thought, could this be an icing issue. Did you have ice on your wings when this started? Did you have anti-ice switched on if you were in icing conditions? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScratchRapsu Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Good point Stinger2k2, on one of my early flights i noticed how my King Air started to drag it’s tail very heavily during autopilot. I disabled autopilot and almost lost control, plane was very difficult to fly and it barely could keep it’s altitude. After some hassle, I find out that you must actively use de-icing booths every now and then to blow away the ice from your wings. Which is pretty nice!

mikeandpatty Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) You may be talking about "Dutch Roll" or technically "yaw due to roll" or "adverse yaw". Small jets usually have a yaw damper as part of the autopilot or separate system to help - does yours have a switch? Also, this also part of pilot experience- overcorrecting causes it to happen even worse on the opposite direction and you get into a pilot induced oscillation or "PIO". This usually is worse at higher angles of attack / slower speeds. Also some airplanes in any FS may not fly too great anyway without some tweaking Edited October 16, 2020 by mikeandpatty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangemout Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 The whole issue was fixed as soon as I changed the flight mode to Modern! :) That's it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
