Aerocat, it's hard to say, but the ATS is savage when it needs to be and graceful at other times. An excellent system. You'd have to give more details about where you were, config, eg level in circuit at BME? If ATC hold us up and we've already started configuring, the speed comes back quickly and the ATS will react "positively". Level in a bouncy circuit will produce large amounts of power quickly, followed just as quickly by a large power reduction. All depends on the rate of speed decrease. I've never had the ATS get itself into a "PIO" though.
Of course, if the ATS is out, then a sudden large power increase may be indicative of the need for a bit-closer speed monitoring, if you get my drift!
As they say in the classics, "practice makes perfect".
