Just curious what others' experiences are...I have done the servo tuning procedure once, and it seems ok most of the time. However, I oftentimes see "Pitch slip" notifications, but if I disconnect the pitch axis, the aircraft seems in pretty good trim, very little deviation from altitude.
Occasionally, it gets into a very weird mode where it starts doing little back-and-forth jerks on the servo, while sometimes simultaneously announcing "Trim Up" "Trim Down" "Trim Up" "Trim down" over and over. Disconnecting and re-engaging and its fine. This is disconcerting to me and my passengers, obviously.
I'll do the tuning procedure again, just in case something is not right there, but does anyone see anything similar to these two (possibly related, but who knows?) issues?
On the plus side, when it's working, which is most of the time, it works *great*. Flew a fully-coupled ILS approach the other night for practice, and it was smooth as silk all the way down the glideslope...
