SAS, a BK, no SAS, at 3K, night, wind variability? Better you than I. Only had one flight in a 117-at Hanover in 1982 with Mr Hoffman. A very fine gentleman and aviator. But that had SAS and it was the proverbial “ Dollar ride “ demo.
On he other hand, is that why you adopted SASless, or was it in remembrance of maybe being made to fly the 47A without SAS? How many nights did you do that mission?
