After I came back from a shower, I saw a dark screen saying crash. I find it a mystery how this could have possibly happened. I received two overspeed violations and nose dived into a mountain.
These are the things I know it could have NOT been:
-Accidentally disconnecting AP instead of enabling VNAV
-Somebody disconnecting my AP
I do think it may have been:
-My iPad screen malfunctioning and “ghost” touching the areas near the autopilot, and disconnecting it.
A little information about the frequent malfunctioning. After my iPad was repaired in October 24’ I started frequently having screen malfunctions playing Infinite Flight. These happen at any given moment and can also happen in flight, I have learned. It shuts down a touchscreen part of my screen in critical situations.
I can physically see it malfunctioning, because I enabled “show touches”.
Here is the replay, have a look.
I would really like to have these violations removed as I am not responsible for these.
Hi, level 1 violations are typically just left untouched as they are not that severe. The appeals team usually does only lvl 2 and 3. With that being said I have made mistakes where I disconnect the AP by accident and what has happened to you happened to me. The lvl 1 vios are not that serious, technically ur hardware issues is an issue you must fix, to avoid having possible issues/vios from happening again, as you are aware of the issue.
Hey brother, I also have ghost touches in the very device I fly on.
To make sure there is no such problem, what I do is i click on the globe icon, and then select show fpl only.
Because the ghost touches occur in the keyboard area of my phone, when I select the show fpl only, nothing happens.
Also try to stay around when descending or when about to descend, and the other times, maybe use ap+
I guess that’s sorta ok if you didn’t depart with active ATC. When given a frequency change approved by ATC, please do tune out of the frequency as it can cause issues for us and we have no way to fix it on our end.
