I've now had two run-away climbs with the KAP150 and wondering if
anyone else has seen this. In both situations I was established in the climb with the 150 set to about 600 fpm with a higher altitude armed. I'm not sure what I may have done that started the situation but it may have been after I slightly reduced power for the climb. In both cases the 150 started to bring the nose up slowly until we were at about 57 knots. I dialed the 150 down to about 200 fpm and the "trim in motion" voice annunicator sounded. After holding Vx for about 2 minutes the nose dropped and the plane resumed normal climb and eventually captured the target altitude. Has anyone else had this issue with this configuration? This would be disturbing in IMC if you weren't watching the system closly. I wonder if the system somehow got itself on the back side of the power curve, but I assume the software knows about that. -Robert |
