The 612 variant of the AW101 uses a variety of sources to assess the on ground condition: WOW status, collective position, engine torque, Nr and airspeed. Once the ground condition is established, the control gains of the pitch roll and yaw axes are reduced by 50% to avoid ground resonance when on the ground or during take-off or landing.
