oldcrusty Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) I haven't checked the Hornet's doc. (when I get home) but I do remember from Super's sim the parameters for engagement of any A/P mode were less then 45 deg. in pitch and less then 70 bank angle. So... I imagine at 450 knots the leveling shouldn't be too violent.:joystick: The selected altitude should be displayed on scratchpad or 'somewhere' for few seconds. Of course this is a bug. No FCS would allow a violent pullup to snap the wings off. If your FCS switch is in ORIDE the A/P would not engage.
