Two
Can we dispatch with less than two Flight Directors?
Yes. We can MEL, the Flight Director. Supplement section of the AFM has guidance.
Like directors operate independently of each other, in which modes
Takeoff (TO/TO), Go Around (TO/GA) and Approach Mode (APPR)
TO/TO flight Director mode
Wings level (within 5° bank),
Pitch Attitude guidance rescale’s to V2 for Engine Failure
Pressing TO/DA on the thrust lever in Flight does what actions
Classic 300; FD mode to GA/GA, auto pilot disconnects, pitch to 8°, wings level within 5° bank), sequences FMS to the missed approach.
CL300 Advanced Avionics; /CL350; green source
- FD mode; to GA/GA, disconnects pitch to 8° when is wings level within 5° bank).
- FMS source; FD mode to LNAV/GA, autopilot disconnects, pitch to 8°, remains captured on NAV guidance
Can the auto pilot be used after your damper is off or inop?
No
