Iridus Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Hi I'm a helicopter enthusiast and aspiring pilot. anyways I was wondering if the r22 and r44 have automatic throttle governers that adjust engine rpm or if the pilot must twist the throttle manually all the time.

Eric Hunt Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Yes they have governors to MAINTAIN the RRPM. They open or close the throttle to make sure the RRPM stays at the desired setting. The governor does not adjust the RPM, it adjusts the throttle. But you must always learn to control the revs yourself, governor off, by co-ordinating the throttle with collective inputs. Your instructor will show you how.
