Management Of Osteopenia Does The Flight Management Computer Provide Autopilot Inputs?

Does the Flight Management Computer provide autopilot inputs? - management of osteopenia

The aircraft are equipped with a Flight Management Computer (CME) are equipped to transmit the movement and the autopilot flight control?
I also saw a similar instrument called the MCDU (Disply Management Control Unit) and takes the same place on the podium of the control FMC.
I know that these tools provide information and calculate the fuel of the ETA, flight planning, etc. But to truly take control of the autopilot? And if so, perhaps a course designed and used to direct the AP?
How to know if the driver's points of interest are satisfied or met other criteria?
I am confused by CME MCDU.

  1. The CSP (also known as FMS - Flight Management System) in some schools is usually on a remote computer in the avionics bay and the radio receiver mounted / transmitter, TCAS, EGPWS, etc. MCDU is full screen and keyboard to see in real cockpit. It's just a "dumb" panel of TMR. The radios are operated in the same manner, controller / displays in the cockpit radios currently in the avionics bay.

    The CSP will send commands to the flight direction, the driver of the autopilot.

    The pilots follow the progress of the display of information in the multi-function display (MFD). It is usually configured so that a moving map that can be configured to display the waypoint flight plan, radio navigation aids can show high or low, airports, airlines, etc.

  2. Yes, the CME sends information to the autopilot to control the airplane. And yes, the flight (and) usually is programmed into the FMC. Navigation instruments (and the moving map) driver can know where they are and where the points of interest are. Most of the time the pilot radio calls and the status of fuel at each waypoint on the long flights, but the autopilot is responsible for the flights.

  3. Yes

    Yes

    Yes

    Navigation screens, control rods, warning and alarm messages.

  4. I can not answer for civilian aircraft, but also for military aircraft, the autopilot, the information in the file / HSI CDI are presented.

    So if you select NAV on the autopilot, with each system consulting, driver is available.

    SCN use our C130 (all including navigation) and the FMS. Thus, our autopilot with SCN, TACAN, VOR, INS, and various other systems can be connected, regardless of the driver chooses as its source in the HSI.
