ComNav 1101 Autopilot6 - 7 BASIC OPERATIONS
Once a suitable Speed Trip Point is set and the Autopilot is switched
to AUTOPILOT or NAV mode, the Autopilot will look at the speed
information being reported by the Navigation Device. If the reported
speed is below the Speed Trip Point, then the Autopilot will use the
slow Steering Parameters. If the repor ted speed is above the Speed
Trip Point, then the Autopilot will use the fast Steering Parameters.
If the Autopilot fails to receive speed data from the Navigation
Device it will sound an alarm and display No Speed Data on the
screen once every 20 seconds. In this case the Autopilot will use
the last set of Steering Parameters. For example, if it was using the
fast Steering Parameters before the No Speed Data alarm, then it
will continue to use the fast Steering Parameters. If it was last using
the slow Steering Parameters, then it will continue to use those.
You can manually override the Speed Trip Point by pressing the
SPEED button. Two things will happen:
a) The Speed Trip Point will immediately be set to OFF.
If you want to go back to automatically switch between fast and
slow Steering Parameters again, you will need to once more set
the Speed Trip Point in the Standby menu.
b) If the Autopilot was steering using the fast Steering Parameters,
it will switch to using the slow Steering Parameters. If the
Autopilot was steering using the slow Steering Parameters, it
will switch to using the fast Steering Parameters. You will see
the lower right portion of the LCD display change to either
FAST or SLOW to let you know which set of Steering
Parameters the Autopilot is now using.
