The FCS-700A is a fully digital, fail operational autopilot flight director system. The system, part of the Boeing 747-400 flight control system, performs tasks associated with 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.

The FCS-700A isthe standard autopilot flight director system for the Boeing 747-400.

The FCS-700A is a development of the FCS-700 autopilot flight director system (currently provided as standard equipment on all versions of the Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft) and shares many LRUs in common with the FCS-700. This feature promotes cost effective fleet support for 757, 767, and 747-400 fleet operators.

The FCS-700A 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.
