august78 5 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Scenario: Im on approach to ENCN for runway 21. I am at 3000 ft on NELIP and doing a turn onto the ILS. Im below the GS. I havent engaged approach mode yet so Im still flying on FMS1. The altitude drops to 2500 and then the airplane pitches nose up by 15 degrees or so and tries to get back up to 3000. Speed was about 200 into the turn with flaps 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developer metzgergva 210 Posted March 22, 2021 Developer Share Posted March 22, 2021 What is the trim indication doing? Did you check that the CoG slider is fully to the right in the weight UI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRBarrett 675 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Also, if using Live Weather, I have seen some pretty significant instant shifts in barometric pressure that can cause a sudden increase or decrease in displayed altitude, and if the airplane is in altitude hold mode at the time, it will then try to get back to the “new” selected altitude. It seems to happen more often in high level cruise flight, but I have seen in happen at lower altitudes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be at flightlevels, but in this particular scenario, the TL was at 7500 ft and I went to local pressure by pressing B. The altitude drop was in the turn to the ils at 3000 ft down to 2500. The pressure had not changed as far as I know. It was a gradual descent of maybe 700 ft per minute over some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
