GF, the L2 can make a non-precision approach by coupling cyclic to airspeed at the nominated approach speed, coupling lateral guidance from the localiser signal to the yaw/roll channels, and coupling vertical speed and a level-off altitude to the collective. So fully coupled in 4 axes, but the pilot has to manage the vertical profile by means of adjusting the vertical speed datum (beeped on the collective in this circumstance) to match up with the descent profile on the plate. I would say that this if fully automated.
There remains the possibility to couple vertical guidance from an overlay approach in the FMS so that the FMS controls the vertical profile, but the L2 doesn't have this facility and neither does the 225.
HC - not a gentleman.
