Abstract
The single cue of a pitch and roll flight director command indicator is driven by a mechanism having a pitch servomotor pivotally mounted in the flight director housing for rotation about the roll axis and a roll servomotor fixed to the housing for rotating the pitch servomotor about the roll axis. The single cue is connected to an arm which is pivotally mounted on the pitch motor for rotation about the pitch axis whereby the single cue may be simultaneously positioned in pitch and roll by said servomotors to provide visual commands for bringing the craft to a predetermined flight path of attitude.
