AP not flying coordinated
-
Is it normal that the AP can't fly coordinated when there's a side wind component? I haven't made that many flights yet but it always struggles to keep the ball centered both when turning and enroute.
@zenit_swe The AP has no authority over the rudder. You have to trim it.

At´re You looking at the "Mechanical" slip ball beneath the EFIS or the Turncoordinator on the EFIS (3 hollow boxes with a filled T below them ?
The 3 hollow boxes and the T is the turn coordinator ie. depicts when You are flying a standard 2 min Turn (360° in 2 mins)
The "Ball in a Tube" mechanical Slip indicator is the one that indicates wether You fly coordinated or not.
