Title: Re: Control Wheel Steering Hitches

Okay, I have some questions.

You're supposed to be pretty much dialed in when you engage autopilot, right? Is it proper, then, to use CWS to set a heading at 90 degrees, then use it to go to 360 degrees WITHOUT DISENGAGING, sort of using it like the Airbus FBW?  :o

It seems jerky if I do try to change heading, so I'm wondering if I'm not supposed to disengage lateral AP, get set up, then turn AP back on. (Or just use the Heading control.)

Also, I'm noticing that when I use CWS to change heading, it will go back to the starting heading, then return to the new heading. So if I'm headed North, and use CWS to set a new heading East, it will go back to North, then back to East.

Finally, I have to use trim when using CWS to change pitch. Is that normal? Its nothing I can't do, but I'm wondering if I'm flying it right if I have to use trim that way.
