Autopilot
If a compatible autopilot computer is connected to the system, autopilot functionality is
available in the system.
The system does not allow for more than one autopilot computer on the network.
The display unit automatically detects the autopilot computer available on the network and
presents settings, configuration and user options for the connected computer.
For details about installing and configuring an autopilot computer, refer to the separate
manuals that come with the autopilot computer.
Safe operation with the autopilot
Warning: An autopilot is a useful navigational aid, but DOES NOT replace
a human navigator.
Warning: A physical standby key should be available for the autopilot.
Activating the autopilot
Activate the autopilot from any panel by selecting the autopilot option in the Control bar,
followed by selecting a mode in the Autopilot controller.
The autopilot can also be activated in navigation mode from applications when you select to
navigate to the cursor, a waypoint, or a route.
Switching from automatic mode to manual steering
You switch the autopilot to Standby mode from any automatic operation mode from the
Autopilot controller or by using a physical standby key.
