AS 350 hover question
happy new year, everyone.
quick question: I was watching a bunch of tv choppers over san francisco, most seeming to be AS 350, hover for more than an hour over a demonstration earlier this week. they maintained their positions quite remarkably well over a long period of time, which got me wondering if these guys were actively controlling their positions (=lots of work) or if there was an autopilot option that essentially hovered on the spot for them (=lean back and just wait).
can anyone fill me in?
