Which component provides manual maneuverability of the aircraft while the autopilot is engaged?

  1. Flight controller

  2. Autopilot processor

  3. Manual override switch

  4. Flight management system

The correct answer is: Flight controller

The flight controller is responsible for providing manual control of the aircraft while the autopilot is engaged. The flight management system (D) is in charge of computing and guiding the aircraft's flight path, while the autopilot processor (B) works to control the aircraft's systems based on the flight management system's instructions. The manual override switch (C) allows the pilot to manually control the aircraft in case of an emergency, but does not provide manual maneuverability while the autopilot is engaged like the flight controller does. Therefore, the flight controller is the only component that provides manual maneuverability while the autopilot is engaged, making it the correct answer.
