kengou Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I can refuel but I have to work the throttle constantly and find I often oscillate a bit forward and back.

JIMJAM Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 i get into the proper position and ht the autopilot. The tanker needs to be on a long straight path but the AP dampens your movement and helps greatly reducing PIOs and overall the frustrating up and down over controlling.

Emmy Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 The jet moves to reduced control authority (similar to gear down) with the AAR door open. Really shouldn’t need A/P to dampen anything.
