AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
NOTE: If the sensor information (other than attitude) required for a flight
director mode becomes invalid or unavailable, the flight director automatically
reverts to the default mode for that axis. If the attitude information required
for the default flight director modes becomes invalid or unavailable, the
autopilot automatically disengages.
ACTIVATING THE FLIGHT DIRECTOR
An initial press of a key listed in following table (when the flight director is not ac-
tive) activates the pilot-side flight director in the listed modes. The flight director may
be turned off and the Command Bars removed from the displays by pressing the FD Key
again. The FD Key is disabled when the autopilot is engaged.
