The helicopter has a positioning gyroscope for detecting a pitch angle, display devices for the pitch angle and a load suspension device. Measurement devices detect the angle between the earth normal and the direction in which the load acts on the helicopter in the longitudinal center plane or directly detects a time derivative of the angle and the display devices show an additive superimposition of the pitch angle and the time derivative. The helicopter has a positioning gyroscope for detecting a pitch angle (Theta) between a vertical axis and the earth normal in the longitudinal center plane of the helicopter, display devices for the pitch angle and a load suspension device. Measurement devices detect the angle (Thetaabsolut) between the earth normal and the direction in which the load acts on the helicopter in the longitudinal center plane or directly detect a time derivative of the angle and the display devices show an additive superimposition of the pitch angle and the time derivative.
