Ummmm, that might be overselling artificial stability additives. E,g., one fine day in Japan at the end of a demonstration mission, returning south from Hokkaido. Sunny day with a wind from the west, which resulted in fairly frequent sharp edged excursions ( the reason I have recalled that flight-the turbulence was notably sharp edged-sort of like a square-wave, if you will ) between +2 to zero G. Machine was a standard UH-60A with SAS and AFCS ( attitude/heading hold ). Wasn’t any special turbulence warning from the weather-guessers when filing at Chitose.
