Answer #1

Autopilot:

-it is an automated flight control in a plane

-autopilot mode works along with FMS(flight management system) and area navigation (RNAV) to make a fairly automated form of the plane.

-The brain of the Autopilot is FD(flight director)

-the FD works with installations that present in the plane

-it recieves the data from the ADC(air data computer)&AHRS

-autopilot mode can automate the tasks ,such as maintaining the altitude, guiding the air crew between the way points etc..

some features of autopilot:-

HEADING HOLD

-this setting sets the desired direction

HEADING AND NAVIGATION

-​​​​​​-This setting will hold the direction as well as the navigation

ALTITUDE HOLD

-This setting holds the desired altitude given by the pilot

INSTRUMENT APPROACHES

This type of Autopilot will fly preprogrammed instrument approaches.

​​​​​​Process:

-we require the desired track as defined by heading, course, series of way points, altitude, airspeed, vertical speed for autopilot.

-after that we have to verify all the given requirements.

-verify that the track is being followed by the air craft.

-verify the correct navigation system.

-and allow the FD.

-We can see the speed, altitude, vertical speed in the PFD(primary flight display).

-determination and catching the control movements is necessary to reach goal.

-and it follows the rout programmed in FMS(flight management system)

-it has GPS steering (GPSS) Function

-we can also follow the VOR radians by changing the settings

-FD controls the process ,once the way point is reached then it sets to the next way point .

THIS IS HOW AN AUTOPILOT NAVIGATION WORKS
