Andhefly70 Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Flying today, after an almost 3hr flight, on descent, selected direct to next waypoint, simulating ATC giving track shortening, aircraft started to roll right, not left turn. FD was showing turn left, hit heading mode on autopilot, still rolling right, disconnected autopilot, rolling left with control column (CH Pro yoke), still rolling right and descending rapidly, pulled power back, gear warning blaring, over speed warning, screen went red, crashed in from 13000'. WTF happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goran_M Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Check your maintenance manager. Particularly the trim linkages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andhefly70 Posted November 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 When I restarted, there was nothing in the maintenance that needed any attention. Everything was green and showed AS NEW condition. To be clear when it asked to restart leaving everything as was from not completed flight but in a new location I selected yes. It started up cold and dark, everything switched off like I had parked it and shut down properly. right down to pitot covers etc on and chocks in. Every switch was off. Im beginning to suspect an issue with X-Plane and not the TBM itself. X-Plane crashed one other flight without warning, just went to blank, then back to deskstop.

Goran_M Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 As far as the rolling, it's not something I have seen with other users. Keep an eye on it, though. And if it happens again, please post your TBM900_log.txt file. Regarding the crash, please post a log.txt file immediately after the crash and before reloading..
