Mmmmm ....
I have to admit to not knowing a lot about the S76B ... But is the Helipilot not similar to the Sperry SPZ 7600 as in the 412EP ... and if so we (?) used to train that in the event of a disorientation or emergency under IMC conditions we could just hit the 'GA' mode button (assumes the a/c is in ATT mode) and the heli will just drop all other AP modes pitch to the 75kt rotors level climb attitude, straight ahead and then command the collective pitch cue appropriately ... one would assume a current pilot flying into dodgy Wx in this quality of machine would have this 'bug out' strategy in mind !!
Perhaps some with first hand knowledge could confirm ??
Thanks ..
