blast Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Hi everyone, I'm having an issue when I activate the autopilot leveling altitude. Instead of being stable it starts to pitch hard until 40° angle and more for some reason. In other times I also noticed that it couldn't stabilize itself and start to fluctuate around the specified altitude more and more. In that situation if i deactivate the altitude control but let the autopilot on, it just fly fine. For me it is the altitude autopilot control which have a problem. The weird part is its not doing it systematically. What is going on? Have you experienced the same? Ty
razo+r Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 do you keep your speed or losing speed? did you engage "hold selected altitude"?
CrashO Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 I have seen similar behavior, this was last week: u6ujZCErNCo I level off by hand (at 7sec) and engage AP + Altitude hold. Causing the nose to drop and AP spending half a minute to recover to a level flight (and losing 4000ft in the process). I then disengage it again, again level off and engage it. And it works just fine.
