Question: What is the primary function of a flight director system in IFR operations?
Answer options:
- To automatically control the aircraft's flight path without pilot input.
- To display raw data from the navigation sensors for pilot interpretation. ✅ To compute and display the required pitch and roll attitudes to follow a selected flight path.
- To provide a backup in case of primary instrument failure.
Correct answer: To compute and display the required pitch and roll attitudes to follow a selected flight path.
