I've followed the Garmin G3X Touch Autopilot tuning guide. The AP works great and doesn't seem to work to hard to do its thing.
As a last step have enabled the autotrim.
Occasionally, the elevator autotrim hunts the elevator trim trying to capture an altitude, especially on initial activation of the AP. This results in the aircraft over and undershooting the altitude for a bit.
Seems like a gain thing but the AP is actually working quite well.
If I put the plane at the altitude prior to enabling the AP it doesn't hunt and can keep it there.
Is this normal? I'm new to an AP with automatic trim, no frame of reference.
Thanks for any advice!
