ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

When engaging autopilot on most aircraft, and all aircraft using G1000/G3000, engaging the autopilot results in very abrupt manoeuvre, as flight director command can be seen starting from 0° pitch and 90°L left bank, progressively increasing to pitch and roll values of the aircraft at A/P engagement.

The consequence is a very abrupt pitch down and roll left movement upon engaging A/P, only lasting less than a second.

If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:

ALL, especially G1000/G3000 equipped
