automatic flight control system
- Definição1
- The typical automatic flight control system (AFCS) is an electromechanical or hydroelectrical system designed to provide stable, accurate, and coordinated flight manoeuvres without interfering with manual control. Most maintain any aircraft heading and attitude selected within the AFCS limits and correct for any deviation from the selected heading or attitude of the aircraft within those limits.
