Wind shift
The wind shift alarm monitors the wind angle. The
reference angle is set when the alarm is turned on and
when the product is turned on. The reference wind angle
is reset to present wind angle when the commanded (set)
wind angle is changed on the autopilot and when a wind
shift alarm is acknowledged.
The wind shift reading is presented on the ‘Wind shift’-
data page and shows the change of wind angle with
reference to the (geographic) wind direction.
