1) Background to the photos
When I flew over the south pole, the autopilot was disengaged. I’m not sure if this is a bug.
The autopilot was using magnetic course, which should not have a sudden change at the south pole. So, I don’t know why the autopilot was disengaged due to some sudden input change.

Hello!
This is a known issue.
The autopilot goes bananas at the poles.
Random question: does it have to do with magnetic heading when getting to the poles?
I don’t recall the root cause to be honest. Only that the solution to it wasn’t really as easy as one might think.
Intriguing because I tried KEWR-WSSS and flew right over the North Pole (no Santa Claus unfortunately) and my autopilot was just fine. Describe bananas @schyllberg
Seb means this.
Well, obviously but how bananas was the autopilot going?
About this much :)
No seriously though, it does go pretty crazy, when i tried the south pole, the plane pitched up and then stalled because of the sudden increase in the AOA, so rip that
Let’s take this into a different topic, because this is really “peeling” away from the original point. ba dum tiss
Don’t want to slide into trouble 😬
roflmao good one
