Acro
Airplane pilots can take advantage of flight modes to manage differerent
phases of the flight, instead of having to operate different switches. For

degrees of flaps, no elevator compensation, landing gear down, and low rates.
Another flight mode can be used for a cruise mode that includes landing gear
and flaps up, high rates, and the nose wheel steering servo disabled so it does

Helicopter pilots commonly use flight modes to manage the advanced curves
common for helis. Flight modes might include a headspeed setting for the
governor, a gain setting for the tail gyro, a throttle and pitch curve, rates and
expo. Using all of these features on one switch, a helicopter pilot can have
