a359 Autopilot automatically disconnects (a350)

[Handy Von Meister]

 

Every time I take off and engage the autopilot, it disconnects after about five seconds and starts beeping, and I can’t re-enable it afterward. I’m wondering if it’s my fault or if there’s another issue.

Is your plane also pitching up uncontrollably? If so, go into MSFS settings, Assistances and make sure that Auto AI-Trim is turned OFF.

This, is most probably due to a situation which the A/P feels it cant handle. For example- direct law, spin, dive. You try and turn on A/P, it just clicks off and reverts a law- hopefully not into mechanical backup. So, obviously you aren’t in that situation…so either a bug, orrrr ai pitch trim is on. ORRR it could be that UOU didnt set it up properly.
