Can't engage Autopilot Altitude Channel after transferring pilot control to Petrovich and Back

If I trim out the helicopter, I can press LCtrl+LShift+H to engage the altitude hold channel.

However, if I ever switch to the CPG seat, and press C to give pilot control to petro, the altitude hold channel does not work anymore for the rest of the flight!

If I push the LCtrl+LShift+H button after switching back to Pilot control, the Altitude Channel light either never goes on or briefly lights up and then immediately goes off.

Does Petrovich disable something while he's in control? From looking throught the switches, Radar Altitude is still on, DISS is still on, Gyros still working, other autopilot channels still working, but just the altitude channel goes off immediately. Any Idea what could be wrong?

Yes, press “F” for collective clutch. I have seen this bug but didn’t figure it out until now!

Thank you, this does it! Now I have to figure out what a collective clutch is 😅

What is the bug part, does Petro forget to turn the collective clutch off? Can moderators move this thread to the bugs forum or should I create a new one?

The collective clutch increases the hydraulic pressure on the collective when a button in the collective is released. You pressed the white button at the collective and the clutch disengages allowing you to freely move the collective with less pressure. 

In game this is modeled as either the clutch not stopping you at all, or needing to press clutch to move collective (see special options). A lot of helicopters, including the Hind; also incorporate the collective clutch in the AP system. In the hind it disengages the altitude channel when clutch is released. It should re engage when clutch is re engaged
