The flight director function provides pitch and roll commands to the AFCS and displays them on the PFDs.

With the flight director active, the aircraft can be hand-flown to follow the path shown by the Command Bars.
Maximum commanded pitch (±20°) and roll (30°) angles, vertical acceleration, and roll rate are limited to values
established during AFCS certification. The flight director also provides commands to the autopilot.

An initial press of a key listed in Table 7-1 activates the flight director in the listed modes.

pressing the FD Key for the inactive flight director only removes the Command Bars from the corresponding 

display.  The FD Keys are disabled when the autopilot is engaged.

** Valid VNV flight plan must be entered before VNV Key press activates flight director.
