How does an Aircraft fly by itself? | Auto Pilot System| Modes of Operation | Auto Flight |

Hi. In this video we look at a system which assists a pilot to fly an aircraft: The Auto Pilot System. We look at what is Auto Pilot system, and How the Auto Pilot system functions in an Aircraft. We look at how the system assists in flying an aircraft with information that is sent to Flight Control Computers, Navigation Computers and Auto Thrust System.
We also look at the different modes of operation of the Auto Pilot system which is short term and a long term mode.

Hope its useful. Please Watch and Send in your Feedback. Thank you!

Thank you for this nice video!
This is so interesting

The first part explains basic AP, essentially attitude control for all three axis', and possibly being switchable for less than the three. Everything after that would be additional features and are brand, model, age specific. Some aircraft have extra features and some don't. And the extra features tend to be the results of technical evolution, ie, bigger/newer planes have more stuff, although new small plane might have more stuff than an older big plane.

i would more like to see how the command send to the servos through computer to the control surfaces.

Does the autopilot have software that considers earth spin?

Interesting. Well done. Thank you. Any suggestions for more explanation of the ap system in depth starting from basic? Thks

the auto-pilot on "Airplane" was a blow up doll, so why is this one so complicated ? ? ? ?

Sir plz make vadio about garmin G1000 saystem

A320 is absolutely stable without AP since FBW knows the demand from sidesticks Inner loop and outer loop?/ Flight director?? AT does far more than speed control. Enagae/disengage logic? Yaw damping?? Coupling??

Indeed, the Autopilot does not have a role of thinking, reasoning and decision-making. It executes the pilots' instructions and directions.
