Topics in this section
- 022-06-01AFCS General Principles: Autopilot Loops, Modes, and Crew Monitoring
Overview of automatic flight-control architecture, inner and outer control loops, mode logic, and PF/PM monitoring responsibilities.
- 022-06-02Autopilot System Modes: Synchronization, TO/GA, CWS, and FMA Awareness
Detailed autopilot-mode behavior, including engagement synchronization, TO/GA logic, vertical/lateral modes, CWS operation, and FMA monitoring.
- 022-06-03Flight Director Design and Operation: Command Bars, Modes, and Crew Use
Learn flight-director command logic, crossbar/V-bar interpretation, manual and AP-coupled operation, and safe handling during failures.
- 022-06-04Flight Mode Annunciator (FMA): Active/Armed Modes and Mode Awareness
Understand FMA structure, active versus armed mode indications, mode reversions, and crew callout discipline to avoid automation confusion.
- 022-06-05Autoland Systems: Fail-Passive/Fail-Operational Logic and Alert Height
Study autoland architecture, redundancy classes, alert-height decision logic, and flare/rollout sequence for low-visibility operations.
