Auto Flight is covered by which ATA chapter?

• A. ATA 23 Communications
• B. ATA 21 Air Conditioning and Pressurization
• C. ATA 20 Standard Practices - Airframe
• D. ATA 22 Auto Flight

Answer: (D)

Auto Flight refers to the automatic flight control systems, including autopilot, flight director, and related automatic control functions used to manage the aircraft during flight. In the ATA chapter system, these flight-control systems are organized under Chapter 22, which is specifically titled Auto Flight. That’s why this option is the best one. The other chapters cover different airplane subsystems. Communications is in Chapter 23, which handles systems and tasks related to radio and data link communications. Air Conditioning and Pressurization is in Chapter 21, dealing with environmental control and cabin pressurization. Standard Practices for Airframe is in Chapter 20, covering general airframe-related maintenance practices. Since Auto Flight belongs to Chapter 22, it doesn’t fit those other categories.
