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.
@snakerstran9101, does that mean autopilot navigating the aircraft along a predefined flight path is an added feature and not a basic feature of autopilot? This has always been my question, kindly help clarify.
@@utkarshmishra1928 I worked on several different AP systems, and they all had the rudder connected to the compass system as opposed to the pitch and roll axis's connected to a pitch and roll gyro. So, on those, if the AP rudder axis was engaged, it would get a compass signal for its attitude reference.
@@snakerstran9101, what i meant to ask was if manoeuvring the aircraft along the (curved) flight path is a basic function of autopilot or an added functionality
@@utkarshmishra1928 Lots of different system designs out there. A basic rudder control could hold acft on the heading at the time the AP was selected, or at the time the rudder channel was selected, if equipped. A "enhanced" feature might be a connection to the flight director system where pilot could turn a heading knob and the acft will follow. A AP turn control feature could have the rudder be involved in a coordinated turn with the turn knob. And it goes on from there with various navigation features/waypoint steering, crosswind crab, etc
@@JxJAVIATION thank you for the answer. Basic knowledge of the autopilot and navigation, to understand better and deeper how the auto pilot works with auto thrust and flight management computer, to understand also better how the ap works in several modes. Hope you can help. Many thanks again.
That is kind of a potato/tomato view. The pilot commands by turning modes on or off. But once turned on, the AP very much has a role in thinking, reasoning and decision-making, the very definition of a processor. Signals are input to the processor, the processor makes decisions, the processor sends output signals to "fly" the plane.
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??
The A320 is an aircraft that is completely flown by computers. I tried to give basic working principle of the autopilot in this video. I will make a different video for the topics you mentioned.
Great work 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽✈️✈️✈️
Thanks a lot!
Thank you for this nice video!
This is so interesting
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good basic information
Thank you! Do Check out my other videos as well!

Great explanation!
Thank you!!
Well done
Thank you!
Interesting. Well done. Thank you. Any suggestions for more explanation of the ap system in depth starting from basic? Thks
Anything specific you are looking for? I have made another video on AUTO LAND. It could be helpful!
@@JxJAVIATION thank you for the answer. Basic knowledge of the autopilot and navigation, to understand better and deeper how the auto pilot works with auto thrust and flight management computer, to understand also better how the ap works in several modes. Hope you can help. Many thanks again.
i would more like to see how the command send to the servos through computer to the control surfaces.
will do!
@@JxJAVIATION thank you :) I like your graphical way of explanation. It helps lot to feed in mind . Better than in class 😁🤦♂️
Does the autopilot have software that considers earth spin?
It has software that caters for wind and movement of the aircraft but not the Earth's spin
Thank you
Welcome! Check out my other videos as well!
Sir you doing great job..🥰
Thank You so much!
Hi
I am AUTOMATION Engineer, can we collaborate in our research, please?
@@perceptronsaber4479 What kind of collaboration are we looking at?
Sir plz make vadio about garmin G1000 saystem
sure. will note it
the auto-pilot on "Airplane" was a blow up doll, so why is this one so complicated ? ? ? ?
that was a funny awesome movie
Indeed, the Autopilot does not have a role of thinking, reasoning and decision-making. It executes the pilots' instructions and directions.
That is correct. The inputs may be from data base or short term inputs!

@@snakerstran9101 The processing is done based on the flight plan that was loaded. Wouldn't say its a decision making process!

@@JxJAVIATION great explanation. Not everyone is able to fully understand a more in-depth video. This is perfect for aviation novices.

Computer vision.
