Default Autopilot fighting for control

This leads to an incipient problem you can have in a private aircraft
as well. Without sufficient power, the autopilot trying to maintain
altitude can drive the aircraft into a stall. It was finally at the
onset of the prestall buffeting that the copilot started to try to
recover, unfortunately while you can overpower an autopilot easily,
overpowering a 15yo holding the other yoke is not as easy.


The 15yo was trying to steer the aircraft the wrong way?

The report I read theorized that the instructions that pilot
was shouting was interpretted as to hold the wheel in a neutral
position while the copilot was trying to roll the plane back level.
