EASA learning objective 022.06.03.01.07 states: 'Explain how the modes available for the flight director are the same as those available for the autopilot, and that the same panel (FCU/MCP) is normally used for selection.'

An automatic flight control system (AFCS) is designed to reduce pilot workload and increase flying accuracy, typically it includes an autopilot flight director system (AFDS) and an autothrust system.
The flight director (FD) and autopilot provide guidance in pitch and roll using a selection of lateral ('Hdg' etc) and vertical ('V/S' etc) flight guidance modes. These guidance modes can be selected for use by the FD during manual flight or with the autopilot and FD engaged so the same control panel is used for guidance mode selection. Boeing call this the mode control panel (MCP) and Airbus call it the flight control unit (FCU).

The FD and the autopilot have different modes and control panels. The FD can only be used when flying manually → INCORRECT. FD and AP guidance modes are identical and they use the same control panel. The FD can be used in manual and automatic flight.

The available modes are the same, but the autopilot control panel is different to that of the FD. The pilot has to program the parameters required separately for each → INCORRECT. FD and AP guidance modes are identical and they use the same control panel.

The available modes and the control panel are the same for both the FD and the autopilot. The FD will display on the PFD the commands that are being followed by the autopilot in order to achieve the programmed parameters → CORRECT. The FD must be selected on when the AP is engaged to enable the pilots to monitor the AP control inputs.

The FD and the autopilot share the same control panel, but the available modes are different. The FD bars shown on the PFD are unreliable when both FD and autopilot are engaged → INCORRECT. FD and AP guidance modes are identical, the FD is used to monitor the AP when it is engaged.
