Flight Director Modes
The Flight Director is a display of the flight profile commanded from
the autopilot. A switch on the S-TEC 1500 faceplate allows you to
toggle the control of the autopilot modes between autopilot “AP”, and
Flight Director “FD”. “FD” mode is a manual mode in which you are
expected to manually fly toward the command bars. When the
autopilot is engaged in AP or FD mode, the Flight Director will be
displayed.
The Flight Director command bars are limited to +/- 30° in roll and +/-
15° in pitch with respect to the aircraft reference symbol.

Autopilot Operation During PFD Failures
The S-TEC 1500 requires a dual-PFD installation to operate.
If either PFD fails, the autopilot cannot be engaged.
