Default Autopilot fighting for control

Do you feel more pressure in the controls as the A/P tries to trim
away your pitch change?


God yes. It only says "trim in motion" for extream changes. This is
usually when moving flaps or if you pull back power but forget to
reduce the VS. I've gotten it into situations where it gets on the back
side of the pitch control (more pitch up results in less VS) and it
starts to fight, I push down, it moves the trim forward and the
pressure becomes MUCH higher. The best solution at that point is to
disengage the altitude of course the real solution is to reduce the VS
before reducing power and not let the AP get behind the pitch curve.
