After a marathon complete reinstall today I departed KDFW in what looked like a sandstorm. After climbing to FL280 the plane started to pitch up and the speed dropped to around 220kts. The plane became very unresponsive and struggled to climb over FL300 much to the annoyance of ATC telling me to expedite. No matter what I did the plane would not climb, then I noticed the trim wheel was at +13. I tried levelling the trim wheel but it kept going full trim up automatically. Pressed ESC.
Did a four hour flight before the update no problem. Any ideas what’s going on?
Never thought of ice to be honest but you’re probably right. On takeoff it looked like a sandstorm but I believe there was heavy snow in Dallas Fort Worth. There were thick orange clouds up to about 10000 feet which made me think sandstorm. On external views it looked like paint had been eroded but it must have been ice. Thanks.
If you’re using the A32NX mod. The Upper ECAM will beep and give you warning if there’s Ice detected. Just turn on Anti-ice, and it’ll disappear.
