shb7 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Why do some planes roll right then left in small increments continuously? It makes me sea sick. When you do a turn, they stop rolling, but then after the turn is finished, they start rolling again. This is all in autopilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllardX Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 When does that happen? I have seen this behaviour in some aircraft (esp. the DA40) only when autopilot is on an switched to Heading mode. In Roll or NAV mode it doesn't happen, or is hardly noticable. Since it also happens with zero wind and gusts its probably not turbulence related but a bug in either the autopilot or flightmodel, or possibly a combination. Some aircraft don't have this problem, so it is doesn't seem to be a generic issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvensmith Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 The 747 does this, it also porpoises up and down +-500 feet from your flight level. Vern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
