Ahhh... That's not what I was getting at.
They have you disconnect to protect your airplane as the servos can do
too good a job of holding altitude. It wasn't lag they were worried
about.


Yeah, there are a couple of issues there. The autopilot might command
surface deflections beyond what is safe for the control surface. Could rip a
surface off. And, as I already said, the autopilot could get into an
oscillation if it rides a rate limit.

Just as the question asks on the FAA exam. What do you do when
entering an area of moderate to severe turbulence?


Yup.

There really is such a thing as "too much of a good thing".


Roger that...uh..Roger.
