The GFC 700 AFCS, like most autoflight systems, includes both a flight director (FD) and an autopilot (AP). The FD calculates the pitch and bank angles needed to fly the desired course, heading, altitude, speed, etc., that the pilot has programmed. It then displays these angles on the primary flight display (PFD) using magenta command bars. The pilot can follow the desired flight path by manipulating the control wheel to align the yellow aircraft symbol with the command bars. Alternately, the pilot can activate the AP, which uses servos to adjust the elevators, ailerons, and elevator trim as necessary to follow the command bars. Controls The AFCS is activated and programmed using buttons on the left bezel of the PFD and the multifunction display (MFD).
