The flight director attitude indicator is the spacecraft equivalent of the attitude indicator (also called an artifical horizon) on an aircraft. Why was the "flight director" part added to the name? Is this some inside joke about cranky flight directors? Not really related: Attitude error needles on Apollo FDAI
