Onceapilot

What do you imagine happens when the autopilot is accidentally knocked out by a knee or elbow?

Suddenly the aircraft is flying along in perfect trim....
...and the pilot presses the autopilot button again and all is well...

A motoring chair against an SLR into the stick is one thing but one would assume that during AAR nobody would be moving around.
