ok I found the culprit, the auto pilot switch on the right-hand side of the copilot was off due to some erratic manoeuvre of me. To be able to re-power the AP I just had to switch again that switch to ON

@wulfgar Glad to hear you got it figured out!

For future reference, if the Autopilot is disengaged via non-normal means (usually either by forcing it off with excessive control inputs or by using the instinctive cut-out switches on the back of the control columns) this will cause the 28v supplies to the Autopilot to be cut-off, and therefore the autopilot will need to be reset using that Autopilot RESET switch on the starboard console.

Once the RESET switch has been toggled, the Autopilot POWER knob should then hold when pulled up, and the white mechanical indicator should show white after a short period indicating that it is ready to be engaged.
