tophelios Thanks for reply, but does it means :
- the 4 axis is already fitted, but you're still waiting for certification ?
- how you perform the automatic night hover ? (if you perform..)For the winching on a ship at night, ok, but for a survivor at sea at night ????
- when is it supposed to be certified ?...
TQ

You are confusing 4axis and SAR flight director modes.
In a simple way:
The 4 axis means collective is driven by auto pilot, so we can engage autohover flight director mode, altitude capture, radio-height...
Trans down/up/mark over target etc. are flight director SAR modes that are in certification.
Anyway we can go from 60kts/500' (in example) to autohover just pressing the HOV button (if GS<IAS etc.), then you can use beep trim, force trim release or just push the controls to change height or movement.
when is it supposed to be certified the SAR modes ?... who knows...
