Precise aircraft control is becoming more critical with the present increasing air traffic. This research presents a new type of digital flight director which is free of gyroscopic references. This digital flight director (controller or compensator) is derived by two methods, the (root locus) trial and error method and Truxal's Method. The first method showed the feasibility of a 'gyro-less' controller. Using the second method, a digital flight director is obtained that offers precise aircraft control on a defined route. The derivation and testing of these controllers are discussed in detail in this report. (Author)
