Flight Augmentation Computers

FAC - The Flight Augmentation Computers have three main functions:
  • Rudder trim
  • Rudder travel limits
  • Yaw damping inputs
  • Alternate yaw
  • Flight envelope and speed computations
  • Wind shear detection
The most significant function wrt to QZ8501 is probably the Flight envelope and speed computations.
