Enstrom is collaborating with Genesys to certify the latest three-axis VFR helicopter autopilot, and says what really stands out is the auto-recovery and the ability to shoot fully coupled approaches.

480B pilots can now expect faster, cooler engine starts with a higher voltage for powerful starts. An automatic, built-in battery heater can keep them flying, even in bitterly cold weather.

By promoting safety, prioritising maintenance and encouraging pilots to better their skills, the original programme reduced claims and kept costs low. Enstrom is hoping that owners will welcome it back.
