An autopilot system is designed to perform some of the tasks of a pilot to reduce fatigue. There are three main types of autopilot systems - single-axis controlling ailerons, two-axis controlling elevators and ailerons, and three-axis controlling all basic flight controls. The modern autopilot system is computer-controlled, gathering data from sensors and other systems. The autopilot hydraulic unit transforms the computer commands into hydraulic and mechanical commands to operate the flight controls and maintain the aircraft's attitude or heading. Autopilot modes include heading hold and navigation tracking of VOR or TACAN radials.

AUTOPILOT SYSTEMS
• Aircraft required the continuous attention of a pilot. • The constant attention led to serious fatigue for pilot. • So that autopilot is designed to perform some of the tasks of the pilot. • An Autopilot is a system used to guide a vehicle without assistance from a person. The function of the autopilot is stabilization.
There are mainly 3 types of autopilot • A single-axis autopilot usually manages both the ailerons. ROLL MODE • A two-axis autopilot manages elevators and ailerons. ROLL and PITCH MODE • A three-axis autopilot manages all three basic control systems ailerons, elevators and rudder. ROLL,PITCH and YAW MODE
• The heart of a modern automatic flight control system is a computer. • Computer gather all the details required to control the plane. • From sensors located on the airplane surfaces. • They collect data from other airplane systems and equipment also.
• The autopilot system is controled by the auto-pilot hydraulic unit. • The auto-pilot hydraulic unit is intented to transform the auto- pilot computer electrical comands in to hydraulic and mechanical commands. These comands operate the flight control linkage and bring the aircraft attitude or heading back to the reference coordinates.
AUTOPILOT MODES
 HDG MOD Selected heading acquisition and hold
 NAVMOD Navigation course capture and tracking; three options are available: VOR radial capture and tracking TACAN radial capture and tracking
Autopilot is everywhere
