Speed
The ATA requires own ship's speed and head-
ing data. Of these, the speed data can be
entered automatically from a speed log,
navaid or manually through the menu.
Note: It is customary to use a speed relative
to water for collision avoidance and a speed
over the ground for navigation purpose.

Notes:
1) IMO Resolution A.823(19) for ARPA rec-
ommends that a speed log to be inter-
faced with an ARPA should be capable of
providing through-the-water speed. This
shall apply to the ATA operation as well.
2) Be sure not to select LOG when a speed
log is not connected. If the log signal is
not provided, the ship's speed readout at
the screen top will be blank.
3) SPEED xx.x and "SIGNAL MISSING
LOG" appear if no log signal is present
for 30 seconds.
