OK so this has happened 2 times now. , Avionics configuration in my signature. I'm cleared the approach, engage approach mode, start to slow things down. All is fine, GPS switches from TERM to LPV coming down final and then the autopilot starts to turn off track and doesn't return. Both times I had my CFI with me so we were both there to recover and continue the approach hand flown, GPS and G5's agree and are all good with data, track displayed on my Area 660 from the 430W is correct, but the autopilot is not flying the track it should.
I cant figure out why this would happen. Both times we shot another approach shortly after with no issues. I can say the only common thing between the 2 times was that I was getting a bit slow and the pitch of was getting a bit high, I needed to apply power and (I'll admit it) I was a bit uncoordinated. Could this have caused the wandering? Anyone have any input, thoughts, ideas?
