Flown all three and you certainly don't need the autos for A or B.

Whilst there may have been PE correction problems with the leveloff/acceleration, how come the simple expedient of "helping" the trim with a manual input also solved the problem?
I only flew the 146 and not the RJ, for 9 years and this technique never failed.
I can't recall if the 'frame had a THS, or was trim applied to the infamous tabs on the elevator, with all the slack accumulating over time making this phenomenon more likely?
Otherwise a great little over-engineered craft which was/maybe still is a pilots' aeroplane.

I don't know, I never used that technique for levelling off.
I distinctly remember using a big handful of ND trim to stop the porposing at high(!) speed and it seemed to cure that, for a while at least.
I can't remember why it worked or even if I knew why it worked.
