percentage value is changed in 1% increments. When the Hovering Throttle percentage value is changed using the Hovering
Throttle trim switch, the percentage value is changed in 2% increments. If desired, the Hovering Throttle trim switch resolution

Activating Hovering Throttle Points
The Hovering Throttle Points displayed in the HOV-TH menu correspond directly with the Throttle Curve Points. You are able to
Activate one or more Hovering Throttle Points to be controlled by the Hovering Throttle trim switch.
All Activated Hovering Throttle Points will move at the same time and at the same Rate as defined by the Hovering
Throttle percentage value.

Point you would like to Activate, then press the YES/+ or NO/- keys to
change the ACT/INH setting.
If all Hovering Throttle Points are set to INH, no Hovering Throttle
Trim Indicator will be displayed on the Top menu and the Hovering
Throttle trim switch will not function. At least one Hovering Throttle Point
must be set to ACT for the Hovering Throttle Trim Indicator to be displayed
on the Top menu and the Hovering Throttle trim switch to function.
POINT2 through POINT8 setting range is INH/ACT. In Flight Mode N (Normal), the POINT5 default setting is ACT. The remaining
POINT default settings are INH. In all other Flight Modes, all POINT default settings are INH.
An audible tone is heard when the Hovering Throttle trim switch reaches the center position (0%). This allows you to know
when the trim switch reaches the center position without the need to look at the Trim Indicator on the Top menu.
