28.6 Additional Information About Steering Modes
Use of multiple Autopilot FAP-2000 control panels
The Autopilot FAP-2000 system may incorporate several control panels. In this case:
• The active panel is indicated by a light in one of the steering mode buttons (RADIUS CONTROL, COURSE
CONTROL, GOTO WAYPOINT, GOTO TRACK and PROGRAM TRACK).
• Both active and non-active panels indicate the steering mode in use by lamps and displays. See the table below.
• You can transfer control from the active panel to the non-active panel by pushing one of the steering mode
buttons (RADIUS CONTROL, COURSE CONTROL, GOTO WAYPOINT, GOTO TRACK and PROGRAM
TRACK). This action lets you change the steering mode or continue with the previous one. To continue with
the previous steering mode, push the steering mode button corresponding to the previous steering mode. Note
that you can observe the lamp indications to know the current steering mode.
