Great question! I get this question from many pilots new to the plane. It's a bit complicated and the reason we don't talk about it often is because it almost always works correctly and doesn't matter to the pilot. Basically it's a symbol which means the heading indicator is displaying accurate information as long as the vertical bar is between the + and the O. Here is the official description copied and pasted from the Primus 1000 manual: Compass Sync Annunciator - The compass sync annunciator indicates the state of the DG in the slaved (AUTO) mode. The bar represents commands to the DG to slew the indicated direction (+ for increased heading and O for decreased heading). The compass sync annunciator is removed from the display for any of the following conditions: - Invalid magnetic heading - Invalid flux valve heading
@@citationpro thank you! I'm going to fly a citation bravo in the near future if everything goes right and this bravo has the same avionics. Your videos are helping a lot! Thank you, wish you great flights and greets from Argentina
@@citationpro Hi there, be really interested in a run through Ultra with Garmin 750/650 setup. Approach mode capabilities and auto flight modes available John
@@ambler71 , that's a great idea, I'll see what I can do. The Garmin retrofit avionics are nice for their touchscreens and ease of programming, but they do require some odd steps when it comes to tasks like an autopilot coupled LPV approach. It's not intuitive in that respect at all.
Amazing explanation! Thank you.
I'm glad you find it useful! Let me know if there are any other topics you'd like me to go over.
Nice and clear introduction👍👍
Thank you! Enjoying your great informative videos.
Great informative video
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
how many hours you have on citation 500 series
@@Unkawz About 2600 hours. And still learning something new on a regular basis!
Excelent!! Thanks
boeing uses the cross pointer as Flight Director guidance
I used to fly B-707s and 727s, some had the Collins Single cue and others had the Sperry cross bars.
