August 9, 201114 yr I tried an autoland on rw 31 at LKPR. All went very smooth. I had the minimums call at100 ft and was almost on touchdown when suddenly, in a blink of an eye, the plane banked more then 70° to the right and then to the left and hit the ground. I use ASE for the weather and Fscommander for the navaid.Anybody else had this happen on autoland? Jos Deniswin7 64 bit
August 9, 201114 yr Jos, I have made numerous Autolandings, as well as manual landings w/o experiencing your issue. Would you please try the same approach, only this time without any weather present? Let us know if this still occurs...... I'd also recommend researching weather smoothing. Best- Carl Avari-Cooper
August 9, 201114 yr Author I will fly the same approach tomorrow . I had also a number of autolands without a problem, that's why this one is so weird. Winds were almost calm. Weather smoothing set in FSUIPC and in ASE. Jos Denis
August 9, 201114 yr Just a shot in the air, but did you set the airport height in the pedestal? How high is this airport? Maybe the plane though it was on the ground and deployed the spoilers and reversers... Henri Henri Arsenault
August 9, 201114 yr You mentioned you had ASE running. Do you have wake turbulence enabled in ASE and flying with AI traffic? It is possible you landed a bit too close to an AI plane and ASE's wake turbulence hit you.
August 10, 201114 yr My money is on ASE. Look at this video. The guy is using ASE. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLJdgEqCQxs&feature=related Trey Akins
