The V-22 has triple-redundant [[fly-by-wire]] flight control systems; these have computerized damage control to automatically isolate damaged areas.<ref>Landis, Kenneth H., et al.

This is a gradual transition, occurring over the nacelles' rotation range; the lower the nacelles, the greater effect of the airplane-mode control surfaces.<ref name=Norton_p6-96>Norton 2004, pp. 6–9, 95–96.</ref> The nacelles can rotate past vertical to 97.5° for rearward flight.<ref name=Markman_Holder_p58>Markman and Holder 2000, p. 58.</ref><ref name=Norton_p97>Norton 2004, p. 97.</ref> The V-22 can use the "80 Jump" orientation with the nacelles at 80° for takeoff to quickly achieve high altitude and speed.{{r|foldisk}} The controls automate to the extent that it can hover in low wind without hands on the controls.{{r|foldisk}}{{r|v22fly}}

New USMC V-22 pilots learn to fly helicopter and multiengine fixed-wing aircraft before the tiltrotor.<ref name="freedberg20210430">{{Cite web |last=Freedberg |first=Sydney J.
