28. Trackpilot

28.2.1 Hand steering
Manual steering modes are:
• Steering wheel
• Wing steering control
• Override tiller
While in a manual steering mode, the ECDIS system is displaying the rudder angle and indication of hand steering
mode.
28.2.2 Trackpilot steering
• Operator sets the required heading of the ship.
• Turning radius is also set by operator (or in Heading Control mode the rudder angle limit).
• Turn is initiated by operator.
The ECDIS displays required heading, radius, rate of turn and predicted turn. (Curved EBL can also be displayed,
but not in Heading Control mode.)
28.2.3 Waypoint mode
The ECDIS system will follow the planned track to a next waypoint but with moderate accuracy in order to have
more economical sailing (sailing in ocean areas).
When approaching a next waypoint, the ECDIS alerts the operator both well before the turn and just before the turn.
The ECDIS system performs turns using planned radius.
28.2.4 Track mode
In the track mode, the planned track is followed at the maximum accuracy between waypoints and also in the turn
(position-controlled turn).
Like at the approach to a waypoint, the ECDIS alerts the operator both well before the turn and just before the turn
when approaching a waypoint.
