Since any vertical mode (except G/A) can be selected and coupled without affecting VOR opera-
tion, ALT mode is also punched “ON”.

15.2.2 VOR Radial CAPture
When intercept angle or route error > 45 degrees:
When deviation from the selected radial falls below a predetermined value (about 2/3 of a dot on
the HSI deviation scale) the coupler progressively banks the helicopter so as to cut the selected ra-
dial at 45 degrees. Turns are automatically coordinated providing T/C and Y channel are punched
on.
When intercept angle or route error < 45 degrees:
Heading is kept unchanged until the VOR deviation signal drops below a predetermined value cor-
responding to approximately 1/3 of a dot on the HSI deviation scale.
In both cases, at VOR capture, the HDG light and annunciator go out, the VOR green “CAP” on the
mode controller and VOR green caption on the annunciator panel illuminate.
