July 5, 200817 yr I'm having a problem with some of my 777's that has me puzzled. When I load an aircraft (MelJet 777), I can watch the horiz stab go to full pitch up position. I can readjust manually using the 7 (or 1) key on the keypad but by the time I get to the runway, the trim has returned to the full pitch up. This causes the acft to try to rotate before air speed is adequate to sustain flight. Normally I can figure things out but this one has me scratching my head. So, any ideas? Thanks a bunch in advance.Propwash1940
July 7, 200817 yr I have the same problem, with most of the liners that i fly; i.e. E-190, B-737, B-767; the 777 is the most difficult. My solution is to take off with my thumb on the trim down button until th AutoPilot Altitude takes over.Marty in Brantford
July 7, 200817 yr Propwash1940 & marty:what you are both describing is you have turned on the autopilot before the aircraft have left the ground.most real-world aircraft lock-out the autopilot so it cannot be turned on until the aircraft is in-air. many don't allow autopilot control until the plane is 400' above-ground and in a stable climb.-- D.
