How does Auto Pilot function in an Aircraft? | Modes of Operation | Auto Flight System
Hello and welcome we will be looking at what is autopilot and how it controls and aircraft what is an autopilot the autopilot is a system that is used to control any graph with little or no input from the pilot When the autopilot is increased it is responsible for keeping their graphs table on all three axes it may also be responsible for dieting day aircraft open point autopilot reduces a pilot workload which is extremely helpful in long-distance flight and also in flying aircraft safety especially in the weather so if there is any disturbance in rule autopilot is responsible to bring back to original attitude them over a particular flight plan with the assistance of the control surfaces after the autopilot is turned on the pilot are responsible for monitoring the operation of the autopilot
What is autopilot and how it works?
Modes of operation of the autopilot?
What's another word for autopilot?
Well, pilots needed in the future?
recently made a flight with the aircraft took off on its own this ongoing project which is known as a tt open which transfer autonomous taxi takeoff and landing which means the developing airplanes which can take of land and also even taxi on the ground on their own without any pilot inputs that obviously brings up the question that what is the palace to incorporate them and in the future will find it even be required in the corporate and today in army advance that question for all of you
About the future because to talk about what is happening right now in today's date what level of automation do we have on most commercial airplanes about the big commercial onesand not the small ones upon once they do not have a defined as they have very basic order pirates the modern commercial big one that you guys are usually fly on when you are going on a flight those airplanes are all very automatic even right now they all have something on autopilot which is nothing more than a computer which operates the aircraft in accordance to the Pilots inputs are the Pilots inputs are not physically inputs to the controls that will tell the autopilot to do something I want my aircraft to let se climb to operating altitude so I have a pilot will tell the autopilot by the rotating at idle for punching in a few numbers that you need to plan the altitude of the autopilot will automatically create of which of and client that altitude and only that altitude their level of and maintain that particular site that is a very basic function of an order pilot order by descend and also maintain a portal heading a particular they can also maintain rules the Loft Acropolis can do right now as well however as of date no airplane has an autopilot used in take it off Taking off an aeroplane always Number The Pilot is flying aircraft manually he have the controls in his hands and he is doing the rotation and everything and aircraft is totally in the pilots hand And however there are Aircraft which can land automatically most of the big commercial airplanes all can land automatically airplanes are multiple autopilot could have to worry 13 autopilot and the odd couple together and they work together and make the aircraft follow the Except for the required to run on the Runway The Pilot is just sitting there and monitoring everything the finest of is less offline the airplane and it's more of monitoring systems these systems can make a graph land absolutely safely on the Runway and exactly on the Runway Centre line without any input from the Pilots to usually on a flight your after takeoff they will rotate the act of manually Airborne and after particular site which is different for each aircraft in engage the autopilot unless someone was the time and then you can do that as well but mostly after takeoff which is engaged to autopilot and let the operator to stop when you just sit there and monitor the system can show you can guess that the role of a pilot is in the future and even now more of a manager in the cockpit.
rather than actual flying back in the days when airplane for just introduced the pilot was there to fly the airplane they would have to controls in the hands and you just actually fly the aircraft has automation has improved pilot survey now reduced or shifted to a managerial role in the cockpit another job is to manage everything manager situations and manage the cockpit and let the automation and your device to the job of life now this is very nice there is nothing wrong with that I know it sounds negative that it never the same path but honestly it is is very good I'll tell you the reason why you're doing a flight from India to the US it's a very long flight 14 16 hour flight you can't expect the pilot to set and flying Aircraft for 16 hours and so you can imagine that would be very very tiring also in case something goes wrong in the cockpit then you have to manage a lot of things there are a lot of systems that can go on a lot situations can develop and to manage two situations if you have a autopilot which is helping you out and explain the aircraft which we see your mind free to concentrate and resolve the problem and concentrate on fly in the aircraft safety is increased automation is reducing pilot fatic and its improving safety standards and that brings me to the Future what is can happen in the future as per the programme by Airbus ATTOL program they have initially as of now on the the Airbus a350 tested automatic take off in the coming time they will be also testing automatic taxi as well as automatic learning picture of be there have to the automatic takeoff thing they put up image sensors in front of the aircraft basically gift craft its own eyes and aircraft can recognise the centre line and then automatically maintain it so line up a graph with Ranway Centre line and earth crust and engage the autopilot the autopilot will strengthen the centre line at maintaining the language centre line When you reach the rotation speed if the speed at which is bigger na take off and we begin our rotation of the ground reaching that Speed The autopilot Automatic leading the aircraft nose up and get the aircraft airborne eventually sometime down the line and bustle also be testing automatic taxi with the Pilots will just have to tell the aircraft the taxi on this fact that accident on that if I'm not that page and automatically to it all of this does it mean Pilots will not be required absolutely not all of these automation which are being introduced they are being done for two reasons like I said to reduce pilot fatig and measuring the main reason is to improve flight safety more the automation you have more safe for operations become because we are humans are always prone to errors there are chances of human error happening computer properly program and with proper inputs will produce an excellent results as a result 20 Automations are helping of the Pilots to improve the operation of the aircraft.
