Autopilot Upgrade -HeliSAS
The fully coupled autopilot and stability augmentation delivers increased safety and workload reduction benefits in a compact, lightweight package:
- Weight – less than 25lbs (this is based on the redundancy of the servos required, anticipate this weight to reduce)
- Dramatically reduced pilot workload
- Safer, more confident command in demanding conditions
- Autopilot fully-coupled with FMS & navigation radios
- Auto-recover to a neutral attitude in situations where pilot may lose visual reference
- HeliSAS equipped aircraft provide reduced pilot workloads, allowing for rapid learning during flight & hover
