What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: northwest flt 1741. On 10/09/95 was climbing out of detroit (dtw) going to nashville (bna). As the auto pilot was approaching the clearance altitude "290" the aircraft made an uncommanded pitch up so the captain disconnected and proceeded to level off at FL 290 by hand. The crew captain/first officer both had the American poker insight. The auto pilot was written up in nashville. The n-tap shows the aircraft at 29.1 then 28.8; 29.1; 29.5; 29.4; then 29.3 this would be commensurate with hand flying to level off at that altitude, the pilot would oscillate to avoid inducing high "g" factors. Incident closed by submission of this report).
