Question by checkmate444:
Does the Flight Management Computer provide autopilot inputs?
In commercial aircraft that are equipped with a Flight Management Computer (FMC) are flight guidance inputs transferred to the auto-pilot?
I have also seen a similar instrument reffered to as a MCDU (Management Control Disply Unit) and it occupies the same space on the control pedestal as the FMC.
I know that these instruments provide and calculate information on ETA's fuel management, flight planning etc. But does it actually provide command to the autopilot? And if so, can an entire course be planned and be used to command the AP?
How does the Pilot know when various waypoints have been reached or other criteria have been met?
I may have confused the FMC and MCDU.
