AUTOPILOT The autopilot or automatic pilot is a system of automatic controls that holds the aircraft on any selected magnetic heading & returns the aircraft to that heading when it is displaced from it. The automatic pilot also keeps the aircraft stabilized around its horizontal and lateral axes.

AUTOPILOT Purpose: It primarily reduces the work strain work & fatigue of controlling the aircraft during long flights. It allows the pilot to maneuver the aircraft with a minimum of manual operations. It provides for one, two or three axes control of the aircraft

AUTOPILOT

Rate of disturbance = Rate of correction AUTOPILOT Principle: Rate of disturbance = Rate of correction The autopilot systems flies the aircraft by using electrical signals developed in gyro sensing units. These units are connected to flight instruments that indicate direction, rate of turn, bank or pitch. If the flight attitude or magnetic heading is changed, the electrical signals are developed in the gyros. These signals are used to control the operation of the servo units, which convert the electrical energy into mechanical motion.

AUTOPILOT Basic components: All the autopilot system contain the same basic components, - The sensing elements (gyro) to sense what airplane is doing - The command elements to automatically generate signals to keep the movements in control - The computing elements (amplifier) to increase the strength of gyro signals to operate servos - The output elements (servo) to move control surfaces
