    Strange Trim Issue

    Hi,

    Over the weekend for an unknown reason my A320 has started to display some strange auto trim issues. Whenever I start a flight the trim is at 13.5 degrees up and does not change until passing FL010 when it slowly winds back to a normal figure.

    The rest of the flight is as expected, until final approach when it winds itself back to 13.d up and the aircraft begins to oscillate up and down. I haven't knowingly changed anything so can't understand why this has started happening.



    Any ideas?

    Regards,

    Mick Williams

    Re: Strange Trim Issue

    Well, I've done a complete uninstall/ re install and updated to v45.3 but I'm still getting an auto trim of 13.5 UP at take off.

    Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be. My original post has had 80 views with no replies. Is it only me that is having this issue?

    Regards,

    Mick

    Re: Strange Trim Issue

    I'm pretty sure I've got to the bottom of this. I'm not sure how I managed to do this, but I had a setting in FSUIPC against the same switch I use for arming the spoilers, set to a repeated elevator trim up.

    I've removed that setting and all now seems fine.

    Regards,

    Mick
