How to calibrate device perfectly for IF

I have trouble calibrating my device while flying sometimes, I always decide to calibrate before landing just to make sure I’m spot on but sometimes when I calibrate the aircraft it will make the nose immediately dive and of course making me do a go around… any suggestions?

Check your trim.

I have trim set to 20% when coming in for approach depends what aircraft I’m in

That may be why. Try trimming it nose up.

20% trim is nose up.

I never use trim

I said 20% not -20% so 20% is nose up

Anyway I think I figured it out thanks anyways.

What did you do?

When I’m about 10nm from the runway instead of switching off the AP I manually turn off each AP feature.

I start by turning off heading after I make sure that I’m fully configured. Then I drop the hammer.

When you are flying don’t move too much your device, because your plane won’t be calibrated and landing will be harder ;)

Some planes make a nose dive even after you calibrate it. Just tilt your device up (not too much) to compensate it before disengaging A/P.
