FCS-700: Autopilot Flight Director System

The FCS-700 is a fully digital, fail operational autopilot flight director system. The system, part of the Boeing 757 and 767 flight control system, performs tasks associated with control wheel steering, flight director commands, speed selection, altitude selection, heading selection, autopilot, autoland, and system fault isolation. Utilizing the new FCC-703, system upgrades are much easier and less expensive due to the incorporation of dataload capability via either front connector or rear connector. The FCC-703 replaces the FCC-702, Collins part number 622-8787-106, and FCC-701, Collins part number 622-4591-512.

The FCS-700 is the standard autopilot flight director system for the Boeing 767 and 757 aircraft.

The FCS-700 autopilot flight director system consists of the following equipment types. Alternate statuses of these equipments may be required in specific aircraft installations. Consult the equipment descriptions in this section and your local Collins representative.
