    The document provides a checklist for diagnosing issues with an autopilot system during flight. It includes steps to check that the flight director is functioning properly in different modes, that the autopilot is following the vertical guidance bars and pitch commands, and tests to diagnose specific problems like porpoise (slow altitude oscillation) or pump (fast oscillation without altitude change). It emphasizes getting repeatable results from checks and stating probabilities rather than absolute knowledge when information is uncertain.

    PITCH

    **THE FLIGHT DIRECTOR IS THE BRAINS


    **THE AUTOPILOT IS THE MUSCLE
    **THE AUTOPILOT’S JOB IS TO FOLLOW THE V-BAR!!!!

    1. Is the Flight Director working in all modes? note lights “ARM” – “CAP”

    a. Altitude hold
    b. Glideslope
    c. No – vertical modes (Sperry System)
    d. SPERRY SYSTEM
    Pre-select
    VS
    IAS

    2. Does the AP follow the V-Bars? (all modes)

    3. Does the AP follow the pitch command wheel?

    4. Porpoise is a slow oscillation with altitude changes.

    5. Pump is a fast oscillation- no altitude changes.

    6. Is the porpoise or pump changing in time or amplitude?

    7. Note the time of one cycle.

    8. Does the problem start as soon as the mode is engaged, have a delay or with an
    AP effort?

    9. Is the pitch trim running- leading or lagging aircraft movement?

    10. With “NO” vertical modes selected.

    11. AP leading or lagging V-Bars?

    12. Pitch trim running with aircraft speed changes?

    **NOTE**

    Try to have repeatability of items check/fail.

    Information that is NOT 100% known must have probability stated.
