Can't remember if it was Phase 7 that I last flew but the MOT function has been available since phase 4/5. I don't think it's changed but what's the question?

Think it may be a SAR function, so may not be switched on in all boxes IIRC.

It is a SAR function; Mark On Target: The Mark on Target (MOT) function allows the Pilot to mark the current position and fly back automatically and fully coupled on all axis’s (Collective- Longitudinal-Lateral) above the marked target position reducing speed and altitude respectively to 0 kts of ground speed and 50(default) adjustable to 200 ft RAD ALT height.

The MOT manoeuvre is normally used during a search and rescue flight when the crew notes a target and wants to fly back in hovering to rescue the survivors.
