Ec135t2 sas mode - flight characteristics

Hi everyone,

I am interested in the flight characteristics of the EC135T2 when it is fitted only with SAS Mode. Does anyone have any flight experience of how stable the aircraft is in this mode. I understand the technical differences between ATT and SAS so I am not looking for a technical explanation.

I am specifically interested in the potential for an EC135T2 being flown on longish sea treks from islands to islands with SAS Mode engaged. Is it demanding/high work load?

How long can hands and feet be off the controls before the attitude departs dramatically.

The safety of such a proposition.

It would have a RADALT fitted.

Thanking all EC135 Pilots out there for the advice and guidance in this respect.

DB
