This delay results in unconfortable oscilations. But now the ap is attempting to compensate the new heading (you are pitching while in a bank so heading changed as far as ap is concerned) by rolling even more (or less). The result is a combination of coupled pitching down and up with ap banking left and right in a series of oscilations that made everyone sick | |

| Sep 24, 2016 at 17:05 | comment | added | Radu094 | That's the combo we had: lateral on, vert off. Makes it very strange when plane starts rolling left unexpectedly (autopilot) and now nose is pointing down and you have to pull up to keep altitude. Feels a bit like wrestling against the autopilot more than flying and controling a plane | |
