"Boudreaux Bob voted #1 resaon for misspent company time"
Thanks a lot for that upload Bob, made a
very good reading during uhmm, extended lunch break. Although I - as a newbie (Hu269 only) - did not get the effective difference between AFCS and SCAS in flight. From reading the preflight checks they seem to be "either or".
The wording regarding AFCS while on the ground insinuates that AFCS is an mathematically integrating closed loop, slightly adding control input as long as the AFCS-perceived "desired attitude/bank" is not reached, hence the risk of it maneuvering the controls to their respective stop when active while on the ground. That sounds like automatically held attitude to me.
I'd like to find out what pure SCAS mode (AFCS off) is doing for the pilot.
You don't happen to have a Bell AFCS/SCAS training manual/
behind the scenes documentation you could upload
TIA
