What is the first step if there is inappropriate pusher activation?

In the scenario of inappropriate pusher activation, the first step is to press and hold the pusher INTR (interrupt) button. This action is crucial because the pusher system is designed to assist in maintaining safe flight parameters, but if it activates inappropriately, holding the interrupt button immediately disables the pusher function and allows the pilot to regain manual control of the aircraft. This step is essential to prevent potential loss of control and ensure that the pilot can properly assess the situation and make necessary adjustments without the interference of the pusher system.

In contrast, pulling the autopilot (A/P) disengage switch may also help regain control but does not specifically address the immediate issue of pusher activation. Checking the autopilot settings can provide insights into whether the pusher activation is related to autopilot parameters, but it is not a direct response to the inappropriate activation itself. Climbing to a higher altitude does not directly resolve an issue with pusher activation and could exacerbate the situation by introducing more variables into the flight dynamics without addressing the underlying problem.
