The document discusses the auto flight system on Airbus aircraft. It covers the main components such as the FMGC, FAC, autopilot, autothrust, as well as their functions and interactions. It also provides procedures for testing and updating the navigation database.

The main components of the auto flight system are the Flight Management Guidance Computer (FMGC), Flight Augmentation Computers (FAC), autopilot, and autothrust. The system is built around one or two FMGCs and two FACs. The FMGC provides flight planning and management while the FAC provides flight guidance.

The purposes of the flight director are to help pilots monitor the autopilot orders if engaged and to display the flight orders that would be followed if the autopilot was disengaged. This helps the pilot optimize aircraft performance.
