An Artificial Horizon and Compass on the DC-3.

Using

FSX Sperry Autopilot
  1. On-Off indicator
  2. Heading Adjustment
  3. Pitch Adjustment
  4. Autopilot heading
  5. Aircraft Heading … same as DG heading
  6. AP On-Off switch
  7. Correction Control to synchronize DG with compass reading
  8. AP Pitch Reference Window
  9. Actual Aircraft Pitch
  10. Horizon Reference
  11. Attitude reference knob … adjust to show level flight
  12. AP Caging knob 12 … this knob locks the AP gyros so they won’t be damaged in heavy turbulence. Notice that there is also a caging knob on the Artificial Horizon on the main panel, for the same reason.
