Saab control surfaces in extreme positions

Recommended Posts

Hello all!

I know that this has been mentioned before but my control surfaces (rudder and elevator) are at extreme positions when on the ground. My elevator on the exterior view is at the full up position, even though my joystick and internal view yoke are centered. The rudder is the same thing except that its at the full left position on the exterior view but inside its centered. When I brake my rudder goes to the full right position. This all happens when Im on the ground only. When flying, the aircraft is fine. I dont experience this issue with other aircraft.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a vague idea i have experienced this a few times in the past long time ago and i realized it was due to me engaging accidentally the FD + A/P while still on the ground, so the systems will command the control surfaces to reach configured ALT (elevator full up position trying to climb) and full left or right deflection (aircraft trying to turn to HDG bug interception course)

 

Once this happens, the control surfaces doesn't go back to centered position disengaging FD & A/P, you have to take off for clearing up the surfaces configuration. Seems to be only a "esthetic issue" because the aircraft rolls, climbs and flight perfect. Once you re-engage FD & A/P the problem vanishes.

 

I am not at the simulator at this time to test my memories vague theories now, the developers may have a better clue.

Ok, I will keep an eye on this for the next flight. I hope thats what it is!

Thank you.
