To my knowledge, there is no documentation on how the autopilot works or how it communicates with the FDMs. There is, however, plenty of good source code in src/Autopilot/. > Are there standard programming interfaces to allow another program to > read control inputs and generate control outputs (for example from > take-off, through a seriew of waypoints, through landing)? Yes. The standard inferface for just about everything in FlightGear is the property tree. Look in src/Autopilot/newauto.cxx at FGAutopilot::init(). That should give you a general overview of how and what the current autopilot gets and sets in the property tree. If you have anymore questions, feel free to join the developer mailing list.
