- Control of the A/C can be automatic or manual. Guidance of the A/C can be managed or selected.
How do you understand this situation. Managed guidance – manual control – selected speed:
a. FMGC computes and sends steering orders for navigation purpose. The pilot flies through the sidestick. Speed is adjusted in the FCU window
b. The audio pilot follows the F – PLN The pilots set the necessary data for longitudinal and lateral control of the A/C. The target speed is computed and displayed by the FMGC
a. FMGC computes and sends steering orders for navigation purpose. The pilot flies through the sidestick. Speed is adjusted in the FCU window
