A. AP/FD Engagement

(1) AP engagement
The AP can be engaged only after takeoff. In cruise, one AP only can be engaged ; in ILS approach
(landing and roll out included) and in go around, the two APs can be engaged.
The AP is engaged by means of the AP1 and AP2 pushbutton switches located on the FCU.
In dual-AP operation, the AP1 is active, the AP2 is in standby. With one AP engaged, the controls (s
ide stick controllers and rudder pedals) have an increased load threshold.

(2) FD engagement
The flight director is engaged automatically when the aircraft electrical network is energized. The
FD1 orders generated by the FMGC1 control the FD symbols of the CAPT PFD (PFD1) through the
DMCs. The FD2 orders generated by the FMGC2 control the FD symbols of the F/O PFD (PFD2). In
case of FMGC failure, the remaining FMGC controls the two PFDs.
The FD orders on the PFDs can be cancelled by means of the FD pushbutton switches located on t
he FCU. An FD remains engaged as long as its orders are displayed at least on one PFD.
The FD orders can be displayed in two ways as a function of the HDG-V/S/TRK FPA selection mad
e on the FCU.
