Heading hold stabilization "holds" an object in a specified orientation. It works via accumulating the angular velocity of a object. This applied to helicopter control yields excellent results, it relieves pilot stress by tenfolds. The pilot only sets the orientation the craft should retain, letting the stabilization system hold said orientation. 

This is especially for beneficial for lateral flight, as it compensates for dissymmetry of lift by offsetting the cyclic. This allows the helicopter to reach critical airspeed to the point of retreating blade stall. Where one blade increases angle of attack to the point which it no longer produces lift or has very little airspeed. Something which would be very hard to achieve manually.
