I have a question also on the S92.
I managed to do an hour or so on the 92 sim at West Palm in March this year and found it to be considerably more difficult (..but not impossible) to hover, land and fly in cruise with no “AFCS” in comparison to the S76 (with AFCS off).
At the time, I was informed by the technicians that the “AFCS” (equivalent on the 92) had not yet been programmed into the sim.
I was interested to know if you found that to be the case on the actual aircraft?
