Advanced Features
3.6 Flight Director
FEATURE REQUIREMENTS
•
Autopilot flight director commands interfaced to the TXi system
FEATURE LIMITATIONS
Pilot controls for flight director functions are not available on the GDU. They are
available only on the autopilot/flight director controller.
The TXi system limits the distance the flight director commands may deviate from the
aircraft attitude icon. If the pitch command provided by the flight director is greater
than that allowed by the display, then the command bars will display at the
maximum distance allowed by the PFD. As the aircraft pitch changes to satisfy the
command bars, the bars will continue display at the maximum distance from the
aircraft attitude symbol until the aircraft pitch deviation is within the command
display limit.
3.6.1 Command Cues
The Flight Director displays commands from the external flight director on the PFD.
Depending on aircraft type, these commands display as either single cue (fixed wing)
or dual cue (rotorcraft).
