Aircraft climbs when performing standard turn in HÖJD autopilot mode

[Corrigan]

When I command a standard turn in altitude hold mode (using trim left or right), the aircraft enters a few degrees climb. Is this correct behaviour?

[grunf]

Does it climb only initially before it stabilizes, or all the time? At what speeds? I've never noticed such behavior.

[Corrigan]

I can't test it right now, but the TVV was placed a good 2-3 degress above the horizon for the <~5 s turns I tried earlier. It's possible, I suppose, that it drifts down again in longer turns, but I saw no such tendency.

Another thing...it is possible to confuse climbing with pitching up. Depending upon the speed, the aircraft may need to hold nose up pitch just to maintain alt. Are you seeing an actual climb or pitch up attitude?

Good thought, but yeah, actual climb according to the variometer as well. Besides, TVV above horizon does mean I'm climbing, not that the nose is pointing there.

 

Am I the only one seeing this? If so I'll make a quick video.

I've seen it too.

In what speeds do you experience this?

Im seeing this as well at very low altitudes, however, when levelling, it returns to the original altitude. It may also be at other altitudes but in that case i havent noticed it.
