Auto Hover - AW 139

As an ex SEA KING man I was prepared to be disappointed by a system based solely on 'on-board' position/inertial sensors and no doppler. I was wrong. The system is amazing. I admit that I haven't played with it in open water but it was rock-steady over the lake and the design of the man/machine interface exceptional. Far more intuitive than the old LVI and all the controls on the cyclic and collective. My compliments to the design team. The acid test will be how the front-line SAR-boys get on with it and as yet I have no feedback. Do you have Phase 5 yet? If so what do you think?
