L-1011 Flight Instruments: Compass Control Panel (31-29)


When DG is elected on the COMPASS panel the following happens:
  • DG is free of MAG inputs
  • The directional gyro may be slewed to any position at two different speeds. 
  • In this case, the SYNC operator does not work because the are not magnetic indicators to synchronize
When MAG is re-selected, the DG will align to magnetic north as received from the MAG Flux at a rapid rate. 

When operating in the DG mode, there is no indication of DG mode operation except for the DG light on the compass control panel.
