CHECKING THE COMPASS OFFSET
The compass offset was originally set while the boat was alongside. It
would be advisable to check that the offset value is correct now that the
internal compass has been swung. Refer to the Compass Offset
procedure.
AUTOMATIC RUDDER GAIN
When the Network Pilot is part of an integrated Network system, boat
speed data will be supplied via the system network cables from a
Network Speed or Network Quad unit. This will allow the autopilot to
automatically ‘learn’ the correct value for Rudder Gain by monitoring
boat speed and rate of turn, the rate of turn will be approximately 7.5º
per second.
If there is no direct speed input or the speed is being set by the Network
Pilot Display Manual Speed Band selections, then the Rudder Gain
value must be entered manually, refer to Manual Rudder Gain, section
5-26.
