Title: Autopilot
Post by rcruse on May 27th, 2012 at 8:09pm
Hi guys;

I just tried flying an autopilot approach.

I was 10 miles out at 2500ft, 30 degrees off the localiser. I had both roll and pitch channels engaged, with the flight director in HDG mode, the AP had the HDG SLT and ALT HLD modes engaged and she was flying along happily. I then switched the FD to AUTO APP and the AP to AUTO APP. With that the Green indicator on both FD and AP progress display illuminated and the aircraft went into a very steep (40 degree) bank in the wrong direction, and flew 20 degrees nose down into the ground.

I tried this 3 times.

Has anyone else flown a sucessful ILS on the AP?

(I've also noticed that the CWS roll mode is doing something a little odd but thats a different topic).
