Rmnsvn Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Has anyone had any problems auto landing the A? I've just tried twice and both times after G/S capture the Autothrottle couldn't keep the AOA constant jumping all the way from Idle to Mil and back forcing me to disconnect it and keep the power relatively constant to keep AOA yellow. Moreover, the autopilot coldn't keep the plane on the glideslope and the first time I crashed into the Stern, Second time landing well before the 1 wire. Haven't tried the B recently but had no problem before. Thnks for input in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarbossPetross Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I had the throttle seesaw problem as well when I first tried the auto landing (same with the Hornet, it also has ATC and ACLS is to be implemented later). I did fine later, and I attribute that to the fact that I have positioned the plane better beforehand, both needles and AOA. The closer to required parameters you are when you engage it the less corrections the autopilot has to make so it doesn't then have to correct after its own corrections etc all the way to the deck. Think of it more as a needle-hold mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt_Jaeger Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 As heatblur stated, ACLS is off and needs further adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
