Flight Director

A Flight Director is an instrument in an aircraft that guides pilots on how to control the plane during flight. It provides visual cues on a display, indicating the desired pitch, roll, and yaw needed to maintain the planned flight path. By following these prompts, pilots can more easily manage the aircraft, especially during complex maneuvers or challenging conditions. Essentially, the Flight Director acts like a coach, giving real-time advice to help ensure safe and efficient flying.
