I have an Accutrak B-12 and Accuflite B-11. The B-12 is connected to a BI-818 unit. When I use only the B-12, it allows the heading to be deflected 30 degrees before it corrects and then it overshoots the heading by 30 degrees in the other direction. If I also turn on the Accuflite without turning the NAV side, it still hunts for the heading but not as badly.  Should the Accutrak B-12 be able to be used by itself? I want to troubleshoot this but wanted to make that I understand how it is supposed to work.

Also, what does the Accuflite do if you don't turn on the B-12 and don't turn on NAV? Is it only for the manual turn function?

The heading should track the heading easily within a couple of degrees. Each system can be used independently or together. A well set up system will track as well as most modern autopilots.
