Dear: During climb after takeoff the pitch up of 727-100 was around 10 deg. But when I engaged AP, the pitch angle goes down and the plane becomes uncontrollable. I have to disengage AP, fly for sometime manually and then again engage AP, after that it becomes okay. Why at first attempt nose is going down?

Are you using the flight director?   I get a nosedive if I have the flight director on when I first activate the autopilot!

Try it without the flight director.  Make sure the plane is trimmed and it should hold pitch when you turn on the AP.

Dear David:

The actual procedure is to preset take off pitch with FD... Is that a bug in CS727 v2.7? Are they going to correct it?

Perhaps it was fixed in SP 2.7, but it has been a longstanding issue, at least for me.   If I use the FD on takeoff and engage the AP after trimming, I get a nose-dive.  Without the FD, I do not get a nosedive.

Hey!

So if the AUTO GS requires a capture of the glideslope from below, can I use MANUAL GS to get the AC onto the glideslope from above if I'm coming in high? And then SWITCH to AUTO GS for the combined ILS beam approach once the GS is captured? I have been trying to figure this out -- the ILS on the 727 is much less forgiving to use than on the 707 Captain, which somehow gets me onto the ILS approach nicely almost every time. With the 727, there seems to be less of an easy transition. Any tips would  be appreciated here.
