Flight Director Indicator (FDI)
The Flight Director Indicator (FDI) is a prominent component of a flight director system that provides the pilot or autopilot with steering commands to follow during flight. The FDI accurately displays the desired flight path and guidance commands for the pilot to maintain precise and safe flight conditions. The FDI is critical for ensuring stable flight operations and enhancing situational awareness. It enables pilots and aircraft systems to accurately respond to changes in the flight environment, including altitude, speed, and direction. In short, the FDI serves as a vital tool for pilots in controlling the aircraft and ensuring a safe and comfortable flight.
