  • DC-9 Autopilot

    The DC-9 is equipped with the Sperry SP-50 Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS), which is a gyroscopically controlled electromechanical system.

If you are used to flying with modern autopilots, you will find that this autopilot works a bit differently than the other autopilots you may be familiar with.

  • DC-9 Failure Simulation

    Failure simulation. This is what in my opinion takes the DC-9 Classic, and all other addons that includes such a feature, to the next level.

While OFF is usually OFF regardless of state, ON and failed at the same time is where it can get really busy real fast on the flight deck.
