When FPS is engaged, Trim performs __ __ functions in the pitch, roll, and yaw axis

When FPS is engaged, Trim performs __ __ functions in the pitch, roll, and yaw axis

• A. Basic autopilot
• B. Stabilized control
• C. Enhanced control
• D. Yaw hold only

Answer: (A)

Flight Path Stabilization keeps the helicopter stabilized automatically, taking some control work away from the pilot. When FPS is engaged, the trim system provides automatic, three-axis inputs to dampen deviations in pitch, roll, and yaw. That means it behaves as a basic autopilot, smoothing out disturbances and holding a stable flight path across all axes rather than performing advanced or axis-locked tasks. It isn’t limited to yaw only, nor does it imply enhanced or specialized control modes. So the trim’s role under FPS is best described as basic autopilot functions in all three axes.
