  "definition": "A Flight Director, an instrument system on an aircraft's primary flight display that computes and indicates the desired flight path. It provides pitch and roll guidance commands to the pilot in the form of command bars or a single-cue symbol, which the pilot follows to execute a maneuver or maintain a selected course. The Flight Director does not control the aircraft itself but shows the pilot what control inputs are needed to follow the path computed by the flight management system or autopilot.",
