Narrator Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Hi, I bought the Phenom 100 a few years ago. I haven't flown it for a while and recently got a new laptop. I installed the Phenom 100, was doing the Intro flight and had an incident. I was taking the Intro flight, per the feelThere manual. All was going well. I took off, AP did the left turn nicely. I began the After Take-Off Checklist. Step 4: Yaw Dampener.... ON. I clicked the YD button, and that's when it went crazy. It flipped straight into a dive, with the annunciator calling something about the autopilot. Seconds later, it nosed into the ground. Could you suggest something that might have caused this, maybe something I missed? Thanks kindly, and have a great New Year. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobflight Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 It is possible you turned the autopilot off (based on the "autopilot") annunciation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narrator Posted January 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 No. But in subsequent flights (I haven't touched YD since), I noticed that YD displays in the PFD, even though I have not pressed the YD button. I wondered if there was a setting that tied YD to AP, so I went looking in both the config tool and FS settings, but didn't find anything even close.
