 System presentation 2/25
 The AUTOFLIGHT system on the A320 family is designed to reduce pilot workload, enhance
 safety, and optimize performance.
 You should have a good understanding of the AUTOFLIGHT system and how to use it so that
 you can operate the aircraft safely and efficiently.
 This module is an introduction only. You will see the principles covered in more detail, and look
 at individual components of the system in later modules. Then you will study the use of the system
 during a normal flight.
 Let ’s begin by building up a basic conceptual idea of the Autoflight system.

 INFORMATION
 SOURCES
 OUTPUT DEVICES
 The Autoflight system can be
 thought of as consisting of four
 main sections.
 At the heart of the system is a
 computation and processing
 section, the brain!
 The central processing section
 has access to several information
 sources.
 The pilots have access to the
 central processing section via
 input devices.
 Finally, after computation and
 processing commands are
 provided to output devices.

 FMGC1 FMGCs FMGC2
 For the Autoflight system on the A320 family,
 computation and processing is done by two
 Flight Management Guidance Computers (FMGC).
 The two FMGCs are identical and normally
 work together so for training purposes we will
 group them as the FMGCs.

 INFORMATION
 ClocSkOURCES
 ADIRS & GPS
 Performance information
 Navigation information
 The FMGCs receive :
 • Navigation Information - which contains details
 of airfields, navaids, airways, routes, waypoints,
 procedures (SIDs, STARs, approachs, missed
 approachs), etc.
 • Aircraft Performance information,
 • The Air Data and Inertial Reference system
 (ADIRS) and the Global Positioning System (GPS)
 for position and dynamic information, (You will
 learn about them in the Navigation Chapter)
 • the Clock,
 • Radio Navigation information.

 INPUT DEVICES
 FMGCs
 The pilots provide inputs to the FMGCs
 using:
 • two Multipurpose Control and Display
 Units (MCDU),
 • a single Flight Control Unit (FCU).
 You will see more information on these
 units in later modules

 OUTPUT DEVICES
 Autopilot Autothrust
 The FMGCs provide outputs
 to:
 • the Autopilot system for pitch,
 roll and yaw control
 • the Autothrust system - for
 thrust control
 • the EFIS system - for the
 display of information
 • the Navigation Radios - for the
 automatic tuning of radio aids.

 The FMGCs are divided into three
 main parts;
 • Flight Management,
 • Flight Guidance,
 • Flight Augmentation.

 Navigation
 The Flight Management part of the FMGCs controls the following functions:
 • Navigation - The accurate position of the aircraft and the capability to automatically
 follow the programmed flight plan,
 • Flight Planning - The flight plan computation,
 • Performance optimization - costs, speeds and altitude optimization,
 • Predictions - the accurate estimates for waypoints, altitudes, speeds, fuel,
 destinations and alternates
 • Display management - the control of information to the EFIS system to display
 autoflight modes and navigation information.

 Commands
 The Flight Guidance part of the FMGCs provides;
 • Autopilot commands to automatically control pitch, roll and yaw,
 • Autothrust commands to automatically control thrust,
 • Flight Director commands to the pilot for for control of pitch, roll, and yaw.

 Flight Augmentation part of the FMGCs provides:
 • Flight envelope computations (for example overspeed, underspeed
 warnings),
 • Automatic speed computation (for example the flaps limit speeds which are
 displayed on the PFD),
 • Windshear warning and guidance.
 Note: Most of the the flight augmentation is not computed by the FMGCs. It is
 computed by the flight controls computers.
 You will learn these computers in the flight controls chapter.

 FMGCs
 So far we have grouped the two FMGCs together for our basic system description. Now let’s
 look at the actual layout.
 As a general rule the two FMGCs have access to the same information sources and
 exchange information.

 Each FMGC is linked to its own MCDU.
 For example, information from MCDU 1 will be received by both
 FMGCs, so that information is synchronized.

 Both FMGCs send commands to the Autothrust system. The
 Autothrust system has two channels and depending on which FMGC
 is the master, the associated Autothrust channnel will be used.
 Now let ’s locate some of the most important components in the
 cockpit.

 - 2 Flight Director pb located on the EFIS control panels
 and the associated EFIS displays,
 - 2 Multipurpose Control and Display Units (MCDU),
 - 2 thrust levers mainly interfaced to A/THR.

 You have now had a basic introduction to the
 Autoflight system. In the modules that follow we
 will look at the individual elements in greater
