FMS vertical guidance commands during MOT are based on pressure
altitude.
The FMS transfers the control of the helicopter to AFCS at 0.2 NM prior
to the FHAF waypoint. This ensures no excessive roll altitude and
excessive deviation from the path.
The FMS outputs the final glidepath angle to the hover waypoint for use
by the AFCS.
MOT Flight Plan
After engaging the MOT, the FMS creates and activates an active MOT
flight plan. A typical MOT flight plan is displayed in Figure 6--127.
