A dual cue FD used for takeoff and a single cue used for all other flying.
The dual cue is the 'crossbar'.
Here is the single cue:
Compared to other FD types, the single cue is small. It is hard to determine bank angle when only looking at it...consequently, a crosscheck must include other items such as the sky pointer to help maintain a consistent flight attitude.
The magenta colored crossbar and diamond are the FDs.
