Episode 6: “F” is for Flight Director! 🎯

The Alphabet Challenge marches on — and today we’re tackling one of the most misunderstood tools in the cockpit.

Ever felt like the airplane was whispering instructions you couldn’t quite decode? That’s the Flight Director: the “ghost in the cockpit” guiding you toward professional, razor‑sharp flying. Whether you’re hand‑flying a SID in the 737 or following a GPS track in the G1000, mastering the FD is the key to flying with intention instead of reaction.

Tomorrow at 17:00 UTC+1, we’re pulling back the curtain on those magenta bars and showing you how to turn them into your best friend in the sky.

What we’re covering:

  • The Logic Behind the Bars: What the FD is actually telling you.
  • FD vs Autopilot: Why one thinks and the other acts.
  • Aircraft Differences: V‑bars in the G1000, crosshairs in the 737, magenta magic in the A320.
  • Common Mistakes: How to stop “chasing the ghost” and start flying proactively.

Six letters down, nineteen to go. Let’s keep climbing! ✈️🔥
