I decided to take the 737 MAX for a spin and test how it takes upsets (phenomenally btw). However, I noticed that sometimes it behaves really weird and jerky. For instance, right before a stall it suddenly and unrealistically rolled to the right, and right before flying into the ground it started jerking up and down. During both of these events the autopilot was still engaged and my inputs had absolutely no effect on the yoke.
This isn’t really something we can address or fix since it’s hard to get accurate data on how it would be in real life :)
That’s true, but none of the other aircraft do this and tbh the second “upset” is just regular downward flight.
It is not unrealistically- It happened because of poor pilot technique.
Your aircraft is out of balance when the stall happens
You are flying the aircraft into the stall with autopilot connected. The autopilot will try to keep the wings level by using the ailerons. And there you go…,
When the A/P for example is lowering an aileron to raise the wing it can push the wingtip over the critical angle of attack, stalling the wing and causing it to drop abruptly.
Wings stall from the root towards the wingtips.
So when your aircraft begins to stall, just the inner part of the wing, the root is actually stalling. The rest of the wing is very close to the critical angle of attack and is about to stall.
And moving the aileron can exceed the critical angle of attack and then your whole wing stalls and there you go.
Thats why:
It’s not that lol. I know how to handle stall and how stalls work. However, right as the stall was beginning, during a step left roll that should’ve continued and become a dive, the aircraft jerked up almost to wings level and rolled to the right instead. Please rewatch the video; the event I’m talking about occurs at around 0:03.
This also doesn’t explain the second event, which is when it was shaking up and down before flying into terrain.
