If I just engage it and not doing anything, it looks like it goes through a self test. Is this correct?

Thanks for your help!
There is no A/P test for the Saab. Touching the trim switches on the yoke will disconnect it every time. What are the other ways to disconnect it? This is a test.

Are you testing the trim override function built into the captains switch? One up, the other down?

Seriously, who flies Saabs? Can I get a job?
