ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
Using the Cessna C208 Caravan, Aircraft flys fine from takeoff to cruise. However, during approach using autopilot at low speeds (under 100 knots), I experience an extreme side to side Bank and Roll. This is so bad it is impossible to use the Autopilot during an ILS or RNAV approach, or even a GPS straight in approach. It has to be a manual landing regardless of the conditions.
This is the same wether there are high winds or not.

If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:
C208 Caravan

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
Yes

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

All autopilot approaches at approach speeds

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Every time I fly an autopilot approach

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Fly an approach in the C208 using the autopilot
  2. Slow to approach speeds (under 100 knots)
  3. Watch the Bank and Roll start and get worse and worse as the aircraft continually over corrects.

Its even worse for aircraft that have auto-throttles because it adds instability on the pitch axis as well. This seems to affect all aircraft I’ve flown to varying degrees.
