6.2 FLIGHT DIRECTOR OPERATION
With the flight director activated, the aircraft can be
hand-flown to follow the path shown by the Command
Bars. Maximum commanded pitch (+20°/-15°) and bank
(22°) angles, vertical acceleration, and roll rate are limited
to values established during AFCS certification. The flight
director also provides commands to the autopilot.
Activating the Flight Director
Pressing the FD or AP Key (when the flight director is
not active) activates the flight director in default pitch/roll
modes. Pushing the GA Switch or any flight director mode
key activates the flight director in the respective mode(s).
