2. After takeoff establish the appro-
priate climb attitude. When a safe
altitude has been reached, activate
the Heading Select mode by
depressing the HDG pushbutton on
the mode select panel. Activate the
desired vertical mode by selecting
the appropriate button on the mode
select panel. This will result in flight
director commands to turn to main-
tain (heading bug) heading and pitch
to the appropriate vertical attitude.
The aircraft will respond to the flight
director commands as soon as the
autopilot is engaged. The helicopter
airspeed must be greater than 50
knots before the autopilot is
engaged. Arm Altitude Select by
depressing the SEL pushbutton.
3. At a safe altitude, depress the AP
pushbutton on the mode controller so
the autopilot will engage and
respond to the command bars. The
autopilot then follows the HSI head-
ing bug and adjusts pitch attitude to
maintain the selected vertical mode.
