Press TRIAL EXECUTE of the radar and verify which is the new course indicated by the trial. Verify that the
new course is safe and realistic.
•
If safe, keep TRIAL EXECUTE of the radar pressed and press simultaneously ENTER NEW COURSE
pushbutton of the radar.
•
the system performs the turn.
•
In order to go back to route steering use the same logic as on EBL steering.
How to stop or modify already enabled route turn
There are two cases that the automatic route turn must be stopped or modified.
•
because the turn cannot be performed up to the final value.
•
because the turn which ship perform goes outside of the planned turn. ( Too fast or too slow).
You can also during turns use all methods described in "Collision avoidance manoeuvre during automatic route
steering" on page 375.
However if you want you can interrupt your automatic route steering turn and continue it in manual mode.
Interrupted turn
•
If the turn has already started then the set course display of the Track pilot shows the new course value.
•
Press Radius Control pushbutton of the Track pilot control panel.
•
Now the manual steering is enabled and your turn continues with old set values of course and radius.
•
Using the tiller set the new intended course.
•
Example:
•
•
Too fast or too slow turn
This is used in case the ship is not performing the planned radius and the radius must be modified.
•
If the actual turning is too fast, use tiller of the Trackpilot control panel to increase radius
•
with some selected radar models you can also press RADIUS INCR. Pushbutton of the radar once.
•
New situation is shown on the radar screen.
The same logic applies for a too slow turning.
376 • • • • Steering with EMRI Trackpilot
Actual course = 45, new course = 120, route turn was enabled.
At the moment the ship heading is 60, the turn is desired to be interrupted to 90. The set
course shows already 120. Press Radius Control pushbutton of the Track pilot control
panel and use tiller to set the new course to be 90. The turn will be finished to that
value.
