Flight control computer
Flight control computer (FCC) is a primary component of the
flight crew.[1]
Flight control computer receives and processes data from a multitude of sensors throughout the aircraft. These sensors monitor variables such as
rudder. A dedicated flight control computer handles high-level computational tasks, including routing, autopilot functions, and flight management. This computer interfaces with the avionics system and is responsible for displaying flight data on the cockpit's flight deck.[2]
The flight control system must be fault tolerant, and for that purpose there can exist several primary flight control computers (PFCC) and secondary flight control computers (SFCC), which monitors the data output from PFCC and in the case of failure, SFCC can take over the flight controls.[3][4]
