Autopilot:
The B-24 Liberator is equipped with a simplistic autopilot system that
keeps the plane flying straight and level. It can also be used to make
turns. However, the autopilot in the B-24 should not be seen as a
replacement for the human pilot any in any situation other than simple
course changes or holding a straight-and-level attitude, the autopilot
should not be used. Additionally, the minimum speed for autopilot
operation is 150 mph IAS. Below this speed the pilot must disengage the
autopilot and control the aircraft manually.
Trim Characteristics:
The aircraft will require only small trim adjustments throughout its flight
envelope, with the exception of landing, where the gear and flaps cause
a nose-down tendency. The aircraft is capable of tr/- 10° in
either direction; though it is highly unlikely that this much trim would be
required at any phase of flight.
