    The document describes the automatic flight control system on an aircraft. It includes an autopilot, yaw damper, flight director, and altitude alert functions. The main components are a computer, control panel, advisory display unit, and three servo actuators, one for each axis. The computer receives data from air data computers, attitude and heading reference systems, and other sensors. It generates commands to flight control actuators and the flight director bars. The system uses dual microprocessors and digital monitoring to provide safety.

    10.1 DESCRIPTION

    (See schematic p 11/12)

    The aircraft is provided with an automatic flight control system. It achieves : Autopilot function and/or yaw damper (AP and/or YD) Flight director function (FD) altitude alert Main components are : one computer one control panel one advisory display unit (ADU) three servo-actuators (one for each axis). The computer receives data from the two Air Data computers (ADC), the two Attitude R and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS), the two SGU, the radio-altimeter , the GPS R (if installed) and from some sensors. It generates commands to the flight control actuators and to the FD bars. Dual microprocessor architecture and digital servo-monitoring technique are used to provide an adequate safety level.

    MANUAL DISENGAGEMENT - Action on the AP pb on the control panel, or quick disconnect pb on each control column, or GA mode activation, or STBY or NORMAL pitch trim switch activation or effort on control column disengage the AP function without disengaging the YD function. The AP white arrows extinghish, the AP OFF It illuminates red and the cavalry charge" aural warning is generated. On the ADU, the RESET pb illuminates amber and the AP DISENGAGED" message is displayed in amber on the second line. Action on the RESET pb or quick disconnect pb clears the warnings and message. Note : If a failure occurs, the PITCH TRIM FAIL", PITCH MISTRIM" or AILERON MISTRIM" message is displayed on the ADU. The crew has to disengage AP and manually fly the aircraft. - Action on the YD pb on control panel or an effort on pedals disengages the YD and AP. The AP and YD white arrows extinguish. The AP OFF" It illuminates red and the cavalry charge" aural waning is generated. On the ADU, the RESET" pb illuminates amber and the AP/YD DISENGAGED" message is displayed in amber on the second line. Action on the RESET pb or the quick disconnect pb clears the warnings and message. AUTOMATIC DISENGAGEMENT The warnings and messages are the same as those which occur in case of manual disengagement but AP OFF" light and AP" or AP/YD DISENGAGED" message are flashing. Action on RESET" pb clears warnings and messages. R Note : If PITCH TRIM ASYM It illuminates on central panel, AP automatically disengages and cannot be reengaged. AP/YD MONITORING RECOVERY When a monitored failure is detected, AP and/or YD is disengaged. If the pilot clears messages displayed on ADU (by using RESET pb) the FGC will attempt a monitor recovery". The AP/YD can be once again engaged. If initial failure condition still exists, AP/YD is disengaged again. Conditions which will inhibit all recovery attempts are : - Loss of AP, YD and AFCS controls panel. - Trim inoperative monitor failures - Any APP mode - GA mode - LOC or BC modes
