1977 Bell 212
I delivered a friends 1977 Bell 212 the other day and was checking out the SCAS system. My previous time had been in a USMC UH-1N where we had both RadAlt and Baro Alt hold and AFCS.
In the helicopter in question I noticed the SCAS did its expected job of stabilizing the flight characteristics while above 40 kts. When I switched each channel to ATTD I did not notice any difference, nor would it would it hold a heading, pitch or yaw. The console panel had no effect either. The system checked out on the ground according to checklist procedures. Any thoughts?
