28. Trackpilot
(FAP-2000+FEA-2x07)
28.1
Introduction
This chapter describes steering functions (trackpilot) available with connection of the optional FURUNO Autopilot
FAP-2000. This Trackpilot receives position, heading and speed data, compares this with the track section to be
steered, and applies the ship model to calculate and command the necessary rudder angle.
28.2
Steering Modes
Note that all steering-related functions are available only if the ECDIS system is also connected to the optional
Trackpilot.
