Thanks to the incorporation of pitch into the control mix, ACT can actually recover more quickly with 3 channels than it can with a 2-channel radio system. This allows new pilots to have more control, but still benefit from the safety of having ACT working to keep them from going into a spiral dive that could lead to a crash. ACT does this by working in tandem with the 3rd channel (pitch) to reduce throttle and apply up elevator.
