Similarly, Autopilot servo slips may still be observed, particularly when in turbulence. Note that
Auto-Trim is not active in the moments that the air loads are overpowering the servos when a
servo slip annunciation is being shown.
If persistent servo slip alerts are accompanied by trim up/down/left/right alerts, the Auto-Trim
feature many not be able to achieving its goals. This could be due to an Autopilot or Auto-Trim
configuration issue, a broken trim motor, or another issue.
