    Hello,

    Today I experimented with an AUTOPILOT dysfunction. As I was leveling off at 4000ft, the HT mode was active on autopilot, but the aircraft was unable to stabilize, it kept pitching down and up to maintain the altitude (like a small rollercoaster). I tried to reduce the speed from 250 to 160 to see if it was changing anything, but no.

    When I select PITCH MODE and tried to stabilize the aircraft manually, it worked. Autopilot off was okay as well, and when intercepting GLIDE, the pitching issue stopped. So I really think it is linked to the HEIGHT MODE.

    Don't know if this issue is already reported?

    Cheers,
    Alex

      Thank you for the feedback. We believe this issue was being triggered by certain weight and balance configurations. We will have improvements to the autopilot in the upcoming update to the F28 Professional, which will also include other improvements, bug fixes, and feature requests.
