In many AS350 (with and without AP) you have a stabilisation system in the pitch, roll and yaw axis. It is not an auto-hover but due to the rotorsystem (semirigid three rotor blade) the AS350 has a tendency to "wobble" a bit. Therefore you have the stabilisation system for pilot comfort.

In hover you can have feets on the floor, so if you dont do too quick collective inputs the stabilitator will maintain your present heading.
