Little pitch up when AP disconnected

[Cptburgos]

Hello:

Is normal that the plane immediately i disconnect the autopilot on final, the nose pitch up a little bit, that make that i miss the tdz a little bit :(.

 

Thanks

It is normal if you use both autopilots - this is a feature called "mistrim" which the dual-channel approach does on purpose to make the nose pitch up (for safety!) if the autopilots disconnect on an autoland approach.

If you intend to do a manual landing, only use one autopilot.

Cheers, Jan
