The type I fly doesn't have an autotune facilty (single pilot. IFR heli). Having previously flown other types that do this, I wish this one did, too.

In transit I always manually tune in the most suitable VOR and DME (NDB, too) as a backup to the twin GPSs, irrespective of whether I'm flying under IFR or VFR.
