Downwind66 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 As soon as you disconnect the autopilot and the pitch down begins, "pause" the flight and look closely to your panel! It may give you a clue as to what is going on and what caused it?:rolleyes: A screenshot for others may help also! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Maybe re-calibrate your controls? Does it fly correctly when using the A/P? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjwalter Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Ben, Under normal circumstances, most commercial jets flying under auto pilot control are in fact steered by their trim tabs, which normally means that as soon as their auto pilots are switched off, their trim tabs retain their (auto pilot) positions and should therefore not cause any unexpected pitching or yawing. Have you tried taking off manually, retracting your flaps at the correct speeds, trimming your aircraft into a stable flight, switching on your auto pilot, giving it time to stabilize and then switching your auto pilot off again to see what then happens ?
