THE same Genesys Aerosystems HeliSAS (Helicopter Stability Augmentation
System) and autopilot that was FAA approved on the R66 earlier this year is
now available on Robinson’s top selling R44.
The autopilot option works the same in the R44 as in the R66 and offers the same
workload-reducing features including basic stability augmentation, heading hold,
altitude hold, navigation signal tracking, and approach guidance.
The difference is the autopilot now works in conjunction with Aspen’s 1000H
Primary Flight Display (PFD). The Aspen PFD fits in a standard 8-hole panel and is a
lighter, less expensive display than Garmin’s G500H which installs in a larger console.
The G500H is only available on the R66 while the Aspen PFD is available on either
the R66 or the R44. With either installation, the autopilot controls are located in the
avionics stack with additional trim and off buttons installed on the cyclic.
The price for an autopilot installation with an Aspen PFD is $60,200. A Garmin GTN
navigator is also required and is not included in the above price (pricing for GTNs
varies by model).
