SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS Automatic Flight Control System Flight Director Modes Flight director modes are normally selected independently for the pitch and roll axes. Unless otherwise specified, all mode keys are alternate action (i.e., press on, press off). In the absence of specific mode selection, the flight director reverts to the default pitch and/or roll modes(s). Armed modes are annunciated in white and active in green in the AFCS Status Box. Under normal operation when the control for the active flight director mode is pressed, the flight director reverts to the default mode(s) for the axis(es). Automatic transition from armed to active mode is indicated by the white armed mode annunciation moving to the green active mode field and flashing for 10 seconds. If the information required to compute a flight director mode becomes invalid or unavailable, the flight director automatically reverts to the default mode for that axis. A flashing yellow mode annunciation and annunciator light indicate loss of sensor (ADC) or navigation data (VOR, LOC, FMS, SBAS) required to compute commands. When such a loss occurs, the system automatically rolls the wings level and then enters Roll Hold Mode, or maintains the pitch angle (enters Pitch Hold Mode), depending on the affected axis. The flashing annunciation stops when the affected mode key is pressed or another mode for the axis is selected. If after 10 seconds no action is taken, the flashing annunciation stops. Figure 7-4 Loss of VOR Signal The flight director is automatically disabled if the attitude information required to compute the default flight director modes becomes invalid or unavailable.
