Even though it is a 40 year old system, the Altimatic IIIc in my Lance does pretty well. Everything seems to function just the way it is supposed to, but it does exhibit one very strange behavior. Not every time, but sometimes, while either altitude hold or pitch hold is activated, when you command a turn to the right, the plane will pitch up very abruptly. Doesn't happen every time, and only happens when commanding a right turn, never a left. Anything like this ever happen to you??
