TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Ensure that all operators of helicopters equipped with either the SPZ-7000 or SPZ-7600 dual digital automatic flight control systems provide training that includes information on flight director and coupling status annunciations; the command cue presentations when only the pitch or the roll mode is engaged; and, if applicable, the differences between the SPZ-7000 and the SPZ-7600.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration must require all operators of helicopters equipped with SPZ-7000 or SPZ-7600 dual digital automatic flight control systems to include training on flight director and coupling status annunciations, command cue presentations when only pitch or roll mode is engaged, and, where relevant, the differences between the two systems.
