S76C+ Autohover

Hi everyone,

We have a SAR S76C+ equipped with autohover.
The fact is, that system is unreliable.
I doesn't work properly when you really need it.
Waves more than 3-4 meter high and the aircraft is anything but stable when when both Radalt & Velhold modes are on...

That's because S76's low gross weight compared to S61?
S61 is rock-steady in autohover....
Because the S76 autohover system design?
