Luis Canas Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Please comment on how to prevent the ERJ 135/145 (in fact, other airplanes as well) from a sudden and sharp nose up when on final ILS approach to a runway (autopilot and approach buttons on, manual speed control and descend rate) as I disengage the autopilot at 500-1000 ft. I have also experienced this behavior when cruising high up on autopilot and turning off AP to fly manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobflight Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 plane is out of trim at time of autopilot disengage. this is usually caused by your yoke/joystick not being centered or out of adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis Canas Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 You mean, trimmed up too much? The trim indicator on EICAS shows Down, 0 in green display. There is a trim down button on the joystick, but does it work if you are on AP and APR? Also, I have hands off the joystick when deactivating AP (so it would be centered). As far as I know, the joystick is calibrated (else would I be able to manually maneuver the aircraft properly, like when taxiing) but I wonder if the aileron lag or sensitivity should be adjusted.

scoobflight Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 likely when you joy stick is centered it isn't sending a 'centered' signal to FS ... meaning it is out of adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
