In defence of Tonic Please, I've learnt a lot here! Don't forget there's lots of
professional heli pilots flying robbos, 206s, etc who would have no reason to know the details and capabilities of advanced autopilots either!
"Modern autopilots can also include such things as controlling the rotor rpm in the event of engine failure, reducing collective if the pilot demands excessive power etc"
That was someone I never realised for starters.
NOW it's time for me to go google the details!
