NTSB accident and incident record under N1768D

NYC96LA148Accident on July 14, 1996 at Westerly, RI: serious injuries.

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Mcdonnell Douglas MD-11 · serial 48436

insufficient information from the manufacturer in the airplane flight manual and flightcrew operating manual regarding the hazards of applying force to the control wheel or column while the autopilot is engaged and adjusting the pitch thumbwheel during a level off. Also causal was the flightcrew's lack of understanding of these items and the captain's improper decisions to overpower the engaged autopilot and then to disconnect the autopilot while holding back-pressure on the control yoke.
