Flight Control Software

Flight control software is a computer program that manages and directs an aircraft's control surfaces—like ailerons, elevators, and rudders—to maintain stability, trajectory, and safe operation. It processes data from sensors about the aircraft's position, speed, orientation, and external conditions, then calculates precise adjustments needed to achieve the pilot's commands or autonomous flight objectives. This software enhances safety, responsiveness, and efficiency by automating complex control tasks, especially during critical phases like takeoff, landing, or turbulence, allowing pilots to focus on higher-level decision-making while trusting the software to handle precise control adjustments.
