ATT Mode

[Caldera]

Hey All,

Been bugging me...

I think I understand that ATT Mode(s) are:

• 0-6 knots = Hover Mode
• 7-39 knots = Velocity Mode
• 40+ knots = Attitude Mode

What is / does Attitude Mode for / do?

Very sorry if I misunderstand your question. Attitude is the orientation of your craft on all axis.

Careos,

Thanks!  Yes I get that.  But I am confused. 

In a fixed wing aircraft that is a climb or a dive.  In a helicopter???

Don't think motion, think in space. If your nose is up, it's nose up attitude. The craft is irrelevant. So if you trim and orient the helo to fly straight and level, attitude hold will continue that.

I think it works pretty much the same as one in the fixed wing aircraft.

In pitch: climb or dive

In roll: roll right or roll left

The Attitude Mode will try maintaining you current attitude in both pitch and roll with in it's limit.

Thanks Guys,

I will goof around with it some more.  When I did it seemed more like "Flight Stabilization" for than anything else.

Does anyone know the actual purpose?

It allows you to take your hands off the stick, and the helo will hold that attitude (pitch and roll). It is rather speed hold, because you can still increase or decrease altitude with collective, but speed will barely change.

I guess my small brain never considered pitch and roll.  But, that is basically what I had noticed as I perceived it to help with stabilization. 

However...

I do notice that speed changes are not prevented.  Possibly just dampened?

Speed changes by what? By changing collective?
