A similar system may also be installed in the tail rotor control system to improved directional stability and control characteristics. In addition to the SAS, IFR equipped helicopters are generally all provided with an autopilot. The most common functions are altitude and heading hold. Some more advanced systems include vertical speed or indicated airspeed (IAS) hold mode, where a constant rate of climb/descent or indicated airspeed is maintained by the autopilot. Some are tied into radio navigation and landing equipment to operate flight director displays. Some can fly instrument approaches to a hover and takeoff/go-around. SAS is especially useful for hovering flight such as over-water rescue or power-line inspection and repairs.
