Forwarding distances
The forwarding distance is the distance the ship travels straight after the steering command is given to the autopilot.
This distance may vary with a different required radius of turn. The logic to verify the correct distance is to perform
a manuever of 90 degrees (Port and Starboard), with a SMALL RADIUS (0.3 nm), and verify from the radar, using
the curved EBL, if the turn goes “long” or is too “sharp”. The parameter should also be verified with a different
radius. (Most important radius values are between 0.3 to 1.0 nm). You can define set of Forwarding Distances both
for “Go To Track” and “Go To WP” steering modes.

You can define set of Forwarding Distances both for “Go To Track” and “Go To WP” steering modes.
In order to edit forwarding distances parameters, do the
following:
1. Place the cursor on the text SINGLE, PLAN,
SLAVE, MULTI or MASTER (whichever is
shown) on the lower right corner, then push the
right mouse button to open the Initial Settings
dialog box.
2. Place the cursor on the triangle in the Initial settings
dialog box, choose Navigation parameters and then
push the thumbwheel.
3. Choose Forwarding distance and then push the
thumbwheel.
4. Insert “Authorizing key disk” in floppy disk drive.
5. Check Enable changes to modify desired set of
Forwarding Distances.
Normally these parameters are entered during sea trial but can also be modified later on. See the next page.
