it's important that a pilot flying a plane with an autopilot understands fully how the autopilot is supposed to work.
Which is exactly why I'm yet to use it.
The aircraft in question has electric trim which is not commanded by the autopilot. But I guess that doesn't stop a malfunction from occuring.
Apart from having a split trim switch and C/B's, are there any other measures taken to prevent the trim from "running away"??
