altitude mode, does it hold barometric or radar?

Does the altitude mode hold barometric or radar altitude? Can one select which one it should hold? Can't find that info in the manual. :helpsmilie:

bump. Has anyone figured out how to hold radar altitude using the AP altitude mode. Holding barometric altitude is not much use when flying in any terrain where the ground altitude changes. In a helicopter you want to fly low and fast. Is there a mode to hold radar altitude?:helpsmilie:

I don't think there is such a mode. You would need a terrain following radar for that.

Altitude mode works. It holds barometric altitude. It automatically disengages when airspeef is below 120 km/h or something. But you'll have to consult the manual for that.

It is an autopilot/sas function.
