28.12.1 Structure of the curved EBL
The curved EBL consists of a straight part at its beginning called “forwarding distance”. Then an arc with chosen
radius and finally an EBL in the direction of the newly requested set course. See the figure below.

You may adjust forwarding distances to suit your ship’s characteristics. For further details see the chapter on
parameter setup.
28.12.2 Use of curved EBL to design a new turn while ship is turning
Program Course Change and Program Track steering modes allow you to design turns before you execute them. The
system displays only one curved EBL. A newly designed turn takes priority over the currently displayed turn. If turn
design is available from the Program Heading Change or Program Track steering mode, the curved EBL shows it. If
no turn design is available, the curved EBL shows current turn.
