Track doesn’t indicate any serious angle of bank. Track was slightly to the left at the end, but doesn’t reflect much of a bank of all.

As above, does come across as strange. I don’t think someone at this level would have any understanding of the AP, or have ever been shown. Fiddling with the AP is another issue, I hope that isn’t the case, and I fail to see why one would even play with it on a simply circuit.

All I can think of here is something was amiss with the aircraft itself.
