Hi,
Thanks for the response and whilst I understand what you're saying, I'm not sure that I completely agree with your analysis.
My reason for saying that is that this is a location where I have flown on multiple occasions in the past. I've not had any issues prior to today. I did not start the aircraft on, or near any large metal objects.
I wasn't aware of the data link errors until after I got home and started looking at the logs.
When I took off for the first flight and did the usual control check, all of the controls were responding as normal, so there was no indication of any problems at this stage.
I was flying in atti mode. I deliberately switched to atti mode part way through the first flight and (iirc) kept it in atti mode for most of the flight (I think I switched back to P briefly when I over cooked it slightly on one of the manvouveres but switched back as soon as I had got the aircraft back to where I wanted it to be).
The second flight was I think, entirely in atti mode, from take off to landing. I did switch to P mode at one point and I think that's when I noticed what appeared to be some control issues, I so I switched straight back to atti mode before landing.
Given that this was this morning, my memory of the exact sequence of events is a little hazy. I don't recall getting any warnings whilst flying in atti mode and I don't think there was any indication that there was something wrong when I was flying in P at the start of the first flight.
Like I said, I did do a compass calibration at the end of the second flight, but of course, this was in the location where I was flying, so if there is interference there then my compass will now be properly screwed! However if there was something at that location, I would expect to have encountered issues before now when flying there. |
