The display you posted was great to see - very impressive.

Just a quickie, is there an accelerometer fitted as standard to the Chinook? I appreciate that you won't be "pulling" much in the way of G, but as a (not very natural) FW-only pilot, knowing the amount of G being "used" in a manoevre gave me more reliable feedback into the tightness of a turn than just the feeing in "the seat of my pants". Also, where G limits were low it prevented an inadvertant over-stress from happening!
(Which usually meant a case of beer to the riggers and a "chat" with the flt cdr/boss .)

Is it the same for a helo, or are you more governed by torque?
