The vertical bar is the lubber line (bow). Observe the number of
arrows to each side of the bar while the autopilot is working; one
> = 1° off course. Increase the rudder play value in steps by
turning the course knob and take time to observe the result of
each step before you make further changes. The best setting is
when the number of arrows is at a minimum on each side of the
bar. This adjustment has to be made at cruising speed (LO
setting) and once again at slow speed (HI setting).
Note !
Increasing the rudder play compensation will increase the
number of rudder commands. Particularly at low speed this may
enhance the course keeping performance.
Proceed to the “Parameters” item by pressing the STBD button
or return to STANDBY mode by pressing the STBY button.
