ahh,

that explains everything actually,

so basically the respective FCC tells its respective F/D command bar to move in relation to the selected AFDS mode on the MCP, thus telling the A/P to move the flight control to head towards the F/D command bars.

and, even if the A/P hasnt been engaged the F/D will provide guidance to the pilot for manual flight


correct?

cheers guys,
