COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHT MANUAL 2 OPERATING MODES 2.1 BASIC STABILIZATION By default, the AP performs an attitude retention on pitch and roll axes and either heading hold or turn coordination on yaw axis. The natural cross coupling existing between the helicopter axes are automatically corrected.
Page 145
COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHT MANUAL 2.2 LATERAL UPPER MODES 2.2.1 General - For all lateral modes (NAV, VOR, LOC) engagement is inhibited below 35 kt. - For HDG, engagement is inhibited below 26 kt. - For all lateral modes, engagement is inhibited when aircraft is on ground. 2.2.2 Heading select (HDG) The HDG mode maintains the current heading upon engagement or acquires and holds a pre-selected heading.

Page 147
COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHT MANUAL 2.2.4 Navigation mode (NAV) The NAV mode enables the helicopter to follow a selected path issued from a navigation computer. On ND display, once the navigation source is set to the "FMS" position, the mode is engaged/disengaged by pressing the “NAV” pushbutton on APMS: - iNAVi label is displayed on AFCS strip.
Page 148
COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHT MANUAL NOTE 1 For low angles of interception (lower than 25 degrees), capture condition is 1 dot. However a maximum time of 30 s is introduced when the mode is armed and the deviation below 2.1 dots to capture the localizer even if the deviation still exceeds 1 dot.

COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHT MANUAL 2.3 VERTICAL AND LONGITUDINAL UPPER MODES 2.3.1 General - In three axes coupled mode (ALT or VS): . In case of insufficient collective pitch to meet the vertical mode reference, helicopter speed decreases and should 60 kt being crossed IAS mode will self-engage shifting the vertical mode to the collective axis.
Page 151
COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHT MANUAL 2.3.2 Altitude hold (ALT) The ALT mode maintains the current barometric altitude upon engagement. - below 60 kt the altitude is controlled through collective axis, however the mode shifts to the pitch axis if the airspeed exceeds 65 kt for at least 5 s. - above 60 kt, the altitude is controlled through cyclic axis (3 axes operation), or through collective axis when IAS is engaged (4 axes operation),...
Page 152
COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHT MANUAL Conditions that inhibit the ALT mode engagement: - aircraft on ground, - airspeed below 55 kt if the collective trim is unavailable, - anomaly detected by the monitoring of the data sent to the FDS for display to the pilot but ground proximity level-off activation. It is signaled by three amber lines across the AFCS strip.
Page 153
COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHT MANUAL 2.3.4 Altitude acquisition mode (ALT.A) The ALT.A mode acquires and holds a pre-selected altitude. Turning ALT.A rotary knob on APMS presets a reference altitude (step = 100 ft above 5000 ft and 50 ft below). Pressing ALT.A rotary knob on APMS results first in selection of VS mode (climb or descent) with a default vertical speed according to table below or current VS if higher until the difference between actual altitude and reference altitude becomes lower than 300 ft.
Page 154
COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHT MANUAL 2.3.5 Glide slope mode (G/S) The GS mode acquires and holds the selected glide slope in order to make an ILS approach to an airport. When approaching the ground the AP automatically reverts to ALT mode in order to hold an altitude corresponding to a radio height of 80 ft.
Page 155
COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHT MANUAL b) Engagement/disengagement On ND display once the navigation source is set to the VOR/ILS whatever VOR/ILS 1 or VOR/ILS 2 receptor is selected and tuned to the frequency of the relevant beacon the mode is engaged by pressing the “NAV” pushbutton on APMS if the capture conditions are satisfied.
Page 156
COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHT MANUAL 2.3.6 Indicated airspeed (IAS) The IAS mode maintains the current indicated airspeed upon engagement or acquires and holds a pre-selected indicated airspeed. Adjustment of IAS reference is obtained through the cyclic beep trim. - When approaching the ground ALT mode is automatically engaged in order to hold an altitude corresponding to a radio height of 150 ft.
Page 157
COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHT MANUAL 2.3.7 Go around (GA) The GA mode used in case of a missed approach or an automatic departure from the hover acquires and holds a pre-defined vertical speed of 1 000 ft/min or the current vertical speed (whichever is the highest) and Vy or the current airspeed (whichever is the highest).
Page 158
COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHT MANUAL 2.3.8 Capture and retention of radar height mode (CR.HT) The CR.HT mode acquires and holds a pre-selected radio height. Turning CR.HT rotary knob on APMS presets a reference height (step = 10 ft). - The reference height can be adjusted either by the rotary knob on APMS or by the trim located on collective stick.
Page 159
COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHT MANUAL 2.4.1 Hover height hold mode (HT/HOV) The HT/HOV mode acquires and holds a pre-selected hover height (i.e. HHT) and pre-selected ground speed reference (i.e. HOV) set by pilot/hoist's operator thumb-wheels. This mode also coordinates the descent and deceleration along a 4.5 degrees slope in case of engagement away from 3D hover references also named autonomous transition down.
Page 160
COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHT MANUAL Reference management: HHT: The HHT reference is permanently selectable/modifiable via "HT/HOV" APMS rotary knob unless a problem has been identified in the visualization feedback to the pilot. Once the mode is engaged to give more comfort of use provided no inhibition condition has been detected and the hover is established the collective beep can be used in order to modify this reference at beep rate of 150 ft/min.
Page 161
COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHT MANUAL 2.4.2 Ground speed mode (GSPD) The GSPD mode acquires zero ground speed upon engagement but allows synchronization on current ground speed (cyclic trim release) and acceleration (beep). When combined with HHT and engaged away from 3D hover this mode also coordinates the descent and deceleration along a 4.5 deg slope.
Page 162
COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHT MANUAL 2.4.3 Guided transition down (TDN) This transition down mode is guided via the FMS with several hover point designation possibilities: - Using “F/TDN” (Fix and TransDown) pushbutton on APMS when flying over the target. This action automatically configures both the AP and FMS to run the complete procedure: .
Page 163
COMPLEMENTARY FLIGHT MANUAL - complete loss of ground speed for at least 30 s, - reset of engagement signal from FMS for at least 10 s, - navigation source selection different from FMS selection for at least 30 s. Condition that inhibits the TDN mode engagement: - Aircraft on ground.
