John G | Approx 7 hours into flight, had an in-flight emergency where autopilot disengaged and A/C began an uncolntrolled dive. Recovery was made at approx 5,000 AGL and normal flight resumed. No injuries reported. I know what happened. As was watching the flight, the weather updated (update every 15 min on) and it went from a 21 kt head wind to a 61 ky tail wind. That was enought to cause a disruption which disconnected the A/P. Luckily I was siting here when it happend again. |
Jason B | Nice recovery! |
