Hey everyone
Today while I was approaching Torrance Field in the TBM, the yoke would not pitch down even after I calibrated the yoke muiltiple times. The plane continued pitching up and I ended up stalling and almost crashing before I ended the flight. Why is this happening? My autopilot was disengaged and I calibrated numerous times.
Hello!
Might be the same issue as below. Try the solution that I mentioned in the linked topic when this happens.
I actually did that and it made the situation even worse.
I would also like to mention that this happened mid flight. The yoke is fine on the ground.
Did you also calibrate after turning the V/S on and off?
Your speed can also be a factor. If you are going too fast you will end up pitching up.
Are you using a joystick?
You can reset your controls to default in addition to everything else above.
.
No because I was like 200 feet from the ground and I didn’t have time.
I am not using a joystick. I was actually going at 80 knots for landing when it happened.
Then that is most likely the issue here. You have to calibrate after doing it.
I shouldn’t have to do that in the first place though. I don’t know if it’s a bug or not because I was going at a slow enough speed and I made sure my device was properly calibrated. That might be the issue though.
