While the SYNC does that, if the A/P is engaged, you can press and hold SYNC, fly the plane manually, release the button and A/P will take over from where you left it. AP will be in amber.
No, it's a different rating, CL60 vs. CL65, never flew the CRJ, just the various Bombardier business jets. 605 is a differences course from the 604, as is the Global Vision from the Global Express with Honeywell.

I can tell you first hand that the SYNC Button DEFINITELY DOES NOT DO THAT!!!!!
So we are going into OKC. WIth a VERY senior captain.
Literally the conversation...
"Hey cap, this dude on the internet says that if you have the autopilot on and then hold the sync button, you can turn and pitch the plane and when you let go then the AP will hold it."
Capt: "Well you know we have to try it."
AP on, I receive a turning vector with a descent... Grab the SYNC button, bank the airplane, after 20deg heading change get the aileron flag, let go, and the plane snaps back to the bugged heading with a waggling motion.
Don't go try this at home kids, galaxy flyer is wrong!

Considering I explicitly stated (see above) that I have no CL 65 experience, but experience in the corporate versions with associated ProLine avionics, I would have expected a crew to read the appropriate sections in the FCOM for YOUR specific, if related, type before exploring new ideas with passengers.
One is afraid for the safety of future passengers riding airliners

The captain has been on the plane for 10 years, so when i told him what you'd said he definitely wanted to try it.
I know there is a few differences with the CL60 and 65.... just didn't imagine that the same button would do something so different.
Question though, when I tried it, the yoke was difficult to turn against the AP servos... when you do it, or when someone uses the CWS button, does the backdriven yoke become easier to turn?
And it wasn't a revenue flight, it was a ferry flight to MX base. And we aren't graced with BBD FCOMs... we have garbage CFMs that are woefully lacking IMHO.
