Automatic Flight Control Systems

Automatic Flight Control Systems (AFCS) are advanced technologies in aircraft that help pilots manage the plane's stability, direction, and altitude. They use sensors, computers, and actuators to monitor flight conditions and make precise adjustments, reducing pilot workload and enhancing safety. Essentially, AFCS can automatically maintain a steady course, smooth flying, and safe altitude, allowing pilots to focus on navigation and decision-making. These systems are crucial for complex or long flights, providing consistent control and helping to prevent accidents caused by human error or fatigue.
