You do know the P180 has a rather severe pitch instability at higher altitudes?
The right circumstances can create a pitch porpoise so severe all the pilot can do is hang on to the yoke for dear life and get low and slow to stop it. Happened to 3 that I know of ( as of about 7 years ago). What started the problem was under tensioned bridle cables on the pitch servo, but once it starts only low and slow stops it.
P180 is an Italian sports car, KA is a station wagon.
Oh and thanks for continuing to point out my lack of education. I was not aware I had sent you a resume.
Don't you love it when people that have never flown the airplane talk about flight characteristics that don't exist. No such problem exists on the Piaggio, but here I am fighting a 7 year old fight. LOL
