Below the FMA, just above the ADI, is the AFDS annunciation that displays whether the Flight Director, Autopilot, or Control Wheel Steering is engaged:

  • FD is displayed when the autopilot is either disengaged or in CWS while the FD is on.
  • CMD is displayed when one or both autopilots are engaged
  • SINGLE CH is displayed during single autopilot ILS approaches*

Note: for dual autopilot ILS approaches, SINGLE CH annunciates after LOC capture and extinguishes after pitch monitor confidence test is complete.

Below the centre FMA and just above the AFDS display is the Control Wheel Steering indications. There are two amber indicators that correspond to:

  • CHS R - roll
  • CHS P - pitch
