My one gripe with this aircraft is my inability to accurately control it's pitch. To engage the A/P one flicks both the Roll/Pitch bars into the engage position. This is fine.

However, I do not understand the CWS system. It continually fights me and always wishes to return to the previous held pitch. Only by disengaging the pitch hold mode do I get control again, but this bypasses the point of CWS in the first place.

Can somebody explain to me how the CWS and pitch select on the autopilot works? Yes, I have read the manual. But for somebody used to NG's and J41's the steam gauges of the 737 are a world away (in fact I've grown very quickly used to it, just not the pitch commands).

Thanks
