Default Problems with VFLC

Hello all,

Has anyone experienced this. Usually when I climb out on departure, a few thousand feet up when I engage the auto-pilot, I will also set it to FLC. The aircraft I fly is 250/.63 and through about 10,000 will hit VNAV and VFLC shows up on the EADI.

There are times where I will notice (after it should have transitioned) the nose will pitch way up, so I take it out of VFLC and slow the rate down with VS.

Has anyone experienced this, and why? If I am holding the recommended climb speed, should it not transition smoothly?

Thanks.
