EASA SIB 2014-07R1

Unexpected Autopilot Behaviour on Instrument Landing System (ILS) Approach

EASA Safety Information Bulletin 2014-07R1 addresses unexpected autopilot behavior during Instrument Landing System (ILS) approaches, specifically when intercepting the glide slope (G/S) signal from above. The bulletin highlights incidents involving Boeing 737-800 and Airbus A340 aircraft where false glide slope signals caused sudden pitch-up maneuvers, risking stall conditions. It raises awareness among operators, Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs), and training organizations about this safety concern.
