Which, as I say, the problem is the pilot having this unknown urge feeling he must be touching the flight controls. Don't touch the controls. Just use the trim switch, as it was designed to be used, and things are far less likely to turn pear shaped. Teaching recurrent trainees in the simulator we don't even practice flying in SAS
So what skills do they have to handle an AP1 & AP2 failure where no automatic stabilisation capability exists, it's in the emergency checklist. In the current age of automatics a lot of airline aircrew are bleating about both the loss of handling skills and the airlines not permitting the exercise of those skills. Children of the magenta line they deprecatingly call it, has the absolute reliance on auto come to the helo world? Folk of my generation learnt helo IMC in the UH-1 series with nothing to keep you the right way up except a scan, and we flew actual instrument, even in the offshore in a 205 or bare basic VFR 212.
