Narrative:
On GS at approximately 800 ft AGL doing a coupled ILS; the aircraft pitched up approximately 5 degrees; autoplt disengaged; and flight director commands became unusable. GS indications stabilized in a few seconds; so we reengaged autoplt; and coupled up. At about 500 ft the tower controller stated that we can expect some ILS deviations as an aircraft departs; and sure enough we got it again. We ended up hand flying the ILS to a landing. These ILS GS deviations on runway 11 at oak are a known problem which needs to be fixed. The magnitude of the deviations is not just little 'bumps;' they are unacceptable.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: B737-700 FLT CREW HAS A GS DEV DURING COUPLED APCH TO OAK.
Narrative: ON GS AT APPROX 800 FT AGL DOING A COUPLED ILS; THE ACFT PITCHED UP APPROX 5 DEGS; AUTOPLT DISENGAGED; AND FLT DIRECTOR COMMANDS BECAME UNUSABLE. GS INDICATIONS STABILIZED IN A FEW SECONDS; SO WE REENGAGED AUTOPLT; AND COUPLED UP. AT ABOUT 500 FT THE TWR CTLR STATED THAT WE CAN EXPECT SOME ILS DEVS AS AN ACFT DEPARTS; AND SURE ENOUGH WE GOT IT AGAIN. WE ENDED UP HAND FLYING THE ILS TO A LNDG. THESE ILS GS DEVS ON RWY 11 AT OAK ARE A KNOWN PROB WHICH NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THE MAGNITUDE OF THE DEVS IS NOT JUST LITTLE 'BUMPS;' THEY ARE UNACCEPTABLE.
