09tir98 19 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 The Single Cue FD seems to be indicating 1-1.5 degrees higher pitch than it should in all stages of flight, whilst the dual cue FD seems to be pretty much spot on.

curben 18 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I noticed that as well yesterday, single cue FD is off by a few degrees. Didn’t check the dual cue though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabby 28 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I am not so sure. With the single cue FD you are supposed to nestle the black portion right underneath the FD, not overlap it. I believe they pic that is posted is correct. In fact, I was just reading at airliners.net that many pilots with experience with both systems prefer the dual cue and say it is "more accurate". However, the pilots that flew the single cue longer and then changed said they prefer it for certain regimens including check rides, but some of them also said the dual cue was more accurate. Let's see what AS says about this as I like flying single cue also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of space between them and it looks like the FD is about 1.5 degrees higher than it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, which was why I said "Let's see what AS says about this". I can tell you that I have no problems flying the single cue FD. Of course, even with the dual cue, I constantly check with my scans to make sure that the aircraft is doing what I want it to do. I am more anxious to get the HUD cue working, but that is a personal opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
