You are wearing a helmet with noise attenuating headset inside. The switches make noise as a game interface feature, if they did not click you would not be sure that had pressed them and so would hit them again in many cases. This of course is not accurate to the actual aircraft but in the actual aircraft you would see and feel the switch move. Seems to me like a good compromise.

I believe that the extended manual will be available by print early next year but will also replace the current PDF manual. Or you can just jump him with insufficient data.

No you can push trim to start the turn, recenter the cyclic at the desired bank angle and release trim. The FD will now try to keep that bank angle (unless in route mode where it will try to return to heading).

They are different flights.

Jack57, What helicopters have you flown? With the control damping stabilization on, the KA-50 feels exactly like the S-76, the EC-135 and the 365N. As with the 76, stab off is much more difficult to fly and though it does help your control touch, it is not something that we routinely do. The Collective Trim Switch (Or in KA-50 Collective Brake) resets reference altitude and also when held releases the spring pressure on the collective. This you press in any helo with an autopilot or stabilization system. Alt-Hold and Heading Hold are separate auto pilot modes and can be selected/deselected as desired. Rmako This is not a challenge, just want to make sure that the point about the stab systems is not lost.
