transat a-310 autopilot issue
Posted: Tue Aug 18, 2009 7:31 pmHi,
I am having troubles with the autopilot on my air transat a-310, the file is titled Airbus_A310_300. So i power up manually for the take off roll and take the initial climb to 2000 feet or so on my own maintaing a positive rate of climb and aprox 180-200kts. I then engage autopilot and autothrottle but for some reason instead of continuing the climb and enroute turn as I have specified the nose continues to pitch up until the aircraft stalls (happens everytime). Here is my configuration: Autopilot master on, autothrottle on, speed set 200kts, speed hold on, alt set (whatever atc gave me), altitude hold on, vertical speed 1800ft/min. Given this configuration there is no reason the aircraft shouldn't be able to climb at 1800ft/min while maintaining 200kts between 2000-5000 feet right???
Any suggestions??
cheers
