Augusta 109 Autopilot

<< < (2/2)

EHM-1001 Robert:
I am sure they have autopilot, maybe not the same like the aircrafts have. For example I have seen a heli panel, which had autopilot features, like:
-keeping given altitude at 0 speed (hovering)
-keeping given altitude at a given speed and moving direction

Anyway, you are right Tim, it is very hard to keep them on track for a 50 minutes flight ;) It is a good excercise for the pilot arms, and I felt that is the right time to buy a wheel+pedal set next to the joystick ;D

EHM-1617 Iain:
Yeah I know that some helis have A/P. The coastguard helis have autopilot that allow the to hover while they rescue people, but I have never seen a heli A/P in FS.
