After 3 takeoffs the A330-900 banks hard left with no wind, it’s like I’m giving full right pedal and then full left pedal and then when stabilize, the autopilot doesn’t hold, only the disconnect sound. Also do you have to set the trim, and do the CG has to be between certain numbers. Are there any latest updates. Now this had happened three times, something isn’t right. My numbers: DHL (SKBO TO MROC) FUEL 18,800 kg, PAYLOAD 35,700kg, ZFW 162.7, TOW 182.3, FLAPS 2, SPEEDS 133,135,139.
Hi, what controller do you use and does this happen with other aircraft or just the A300-900?
The Thrustmaster TCA sidestick. And I just seen that my sensitivity settings for the stick was all set to ‘0’. Could that be the cause??
I would have thought so, try playing around with the sensitivity settings a bit or search the forum for thrustmaster sensitivity settings of other users for some ideas. I don’t own that controller so cannot help with the settings. But you may need to set a bit of a dead zone.
I played around with the sensitivity settings and after takeoff, the flight module is better, only a few auto pilot off alarms on some light turbulence. But after that, it was pretty smooth flight, with occasionally turbulence, and auto pilot off alarm. The problem was when on final, on glideslope, at 171,000kg weight, winds were 130 @ 10 G 20, Approach speed was 136 at full flaps landing on runway 10, the aircraft went into a left turn nose dive, try to recover but crashed. Did I stall the aircraft ?
