I've been reading up on Flight Director operation for 767s, actually for a specific work related MEL question, but it occurs to me, I really don't get what value they provide in general.
I've worked on and around airplanes that had them for years.
I've flown a couple G1000 aircraft, (172 & DA40) that had a flight directors, I could turn it on or off. I didn't really get what it did for me.
Reading through the FAAs advanced avionics handbook, it's seems to insinuate they are possibly confusing.
When are they valuable? What exactly do they do for you?
Thanks,
