POM DESCRIPTION
Flight Director
The flight director function displays pitch and roll targets, based on the
selected mode and sensor data, on the Primary Flight Display. The AFCS
Mode Controller panel is used to select flight director modes. Active
modes are displayed in green with the lateral mode to the left and the
vertical mode to the right. Armed modes are displayed in white below
the active mode. Dual-Cue and Single-Cue flight director presentation
may be selected via the CDUs.
Flight Director (FD) Buttons on the Mode Controller activate/deactivate
the selected onside flight director. The flight director button turns on the
flight director in the default pitch and roll modes if no modes were
previously selected. If the autopilot is engaged, the flight director button
function is inhibited. If the autopilot is not engaged, removing the
command bars on both sides will also remove all flight director modes.
A low bank mode is automatically selected at high altitude or can be
activated manually using the BANK button. Low bank mode is indicated
by a green band on the top of the attitude indicator.
PFD1 or PFD2 data can be used by the FD and is selected using the CPL
button. Active PFD is indicated by a green arrow in the FMA.
The following FD modes are available:
Navigation
The navigation mode is selected using the NAV button and couples the
lateral axis to the selected navigation source.
Heading
The heading mode is selected using the HDG button. When engaged the
flight director will acquire and hold the selected heading.
