BAE Systems is proud to offer our customers and partners a broad portfolio of advanced stick-to-surface flight control avionics designed with performance and safety in mind.
FCC Capabilities
Primary flight control computers (FCC) – sometimes referred to as primary flight control electronics (FCE) – are located in the aircraft electronic equipment (EE-Bay)
There are typically three redundant FCCs installed on an airplane
The FCC computes and transmits all primary surface actuator commands (rudder, elevators, ailerons, flaperons, and horizontal stabilizer) to control and maintain normal flight
FCCs are designed to provide full flight functions
The FCC also performs pre-flight functions to verify the electronics dispatch integrity, as well as ground maintenance functions
