AUTO-ROTATION switch
This switch separates throttle from collective pitch (collective pitch-throttle
mixer). You can set a fixed value for throttle (A-ROT THR: motor idle for auto-
rotation practice). At the same time a different neutral position is assigned to the
tail rotor (see tail rotor offset), and the static tail rotor compensation is switched
off. The pilot retains full control of the tail rotor.
Maximum control travel (100%) for collective pitch is made available.
v Direct throttle control when AUTO-ROTATION is selected
The slider (control E) controls THROTTLE; the collective pitch stick has no effect.
v Static tail rotor compensation
Separately variable mixer inputs for climb (PI) and descent (PI-), variable mixer
threshold point (0-PNT).
v Tail rotor offset
Separately variable neutral points for the tail rotor (TAIL OFS) for normal flight
and auto-rotation.
