Errr I could, it used to be my job.
Heard it’s really hard to get a helicopter to hover in place. Is this true?
The limiting factors are space for the main rotors (and tail rotor if you have one) limited engine power especially at height where the air is less dense. Wind speed and direction plays a big role also.
Physically it can be difficult during training dependant on type and if it has any stabilisation on it. One small aircraft I flew was particularly difficult as you tended to over control, but in essence it's just time and getting used to each airframe.
Chinooks were after my time, they have autohover I belive.
Hi, they have a "Stabilisation augmentation system" on board, but I've not heard of a hover button per se as you see in the movies! Would be nice tho.
