Flight Controls


Flight ControlsHoneywell has provided Flight Controls solutions to customers for 90 years with our first autopilot demonstrated at the 1914 Paris Air Show. Since that time, we have become the Flight Controls industry leader and have pioneered many innovative industry firsts.

We were first in the development of a CatIII capable autopilot for the 747-100, first to apply processor technology to autoflight on the 737-200, and first to implement a fully digital autopilot on the MD-80. First to implement a commercial dissimilar processor solution for the 737-300 and first to implement a fail-operational Cat IIIB autopilot for the MD-11, MD-10 and 717. Now, we are combining our Flight Controls experience with our high integrity platform environment to develop a Flight Controls solution for the new Boeing 787.

Boeing 717
Boeing 717The Automatic Flight System (AFS) supplies automatic flight control and flight crew guidance during the full flight envelope (from takeoff above 100 feet through ground roll-out after landing).

Boeing 727
Boeing 727The Honeywell SP-150 Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) provides three-axis flight stabilization through the use of rate gyros in the yaw damper couplers and derived rate networks in the pitch and roll channels.

Boeing 737
Boeing 737The B737-600/700/800/900 FCC provides control and guidance in the pitch and roll axes, and performs warning functions, and automatic pitch trim.

Boeing 747
Boeing 747The B747-100/200/300 SPZ-1 Autopilot - Flight Director is an integrated automatic pilot/flight director (A/P - F/D) system in which the system computers are used for autopilot and flight director functions.

Boeing MD-80
Boeing MD-80The MD-80 advanced avionics and integrated cockpit comprise several familiar systems integrated into a flight management concept that provides automatic thrust and guidance control for the full flight regime, including a fail passive Category IIIA autoland system.

Boeing MD-90
Boeing MD-90The MD-90 advanced avionics and integrated cockpit comprise several familiar systems integrated into a flight management concept that provides automatic thrust and guidance control for the full flight regime, including a fail passive Category IIIA autoland system.

Boeing MD-10
Boeing MD-10The Automatic Flight System (AFS) is an integral part of the automatic and manual control system of the aircraft.

Boeing MD-11
Boeing MD-11Honeywell’s Automatic Flight System (AFS) for the Boeing MD-11 is an integral part of the automatic and manual control system of the aircraft.

BAE-146
BAE-146The BAe 146 Digital Flight Guidance System (DFGS) provides automatic flight and throttle control throughout the aircraft’s operating envelope.
