In order to develop the advantages gained by combining the automatic pilot and the flight director, this discussion is presented in three sections. First the present status of aircraft navigation and flight control instrumentation is presented along with recent developments such as the flight director. Then the trends in development of the automatic pilot are examined and the function of the human pilot in the automatically controlled aircraft is considered. Finally, the combined automatic pilot-flight director system is described and the advantages of such an arrangement are presented.
