28.12 Using the Curved EBL

The curved EBL is a design and control tool which functions to start a turn at the correct position and to monitor
behavior of own ship during the turn. The curved EBL is available on the ECDIS display and on some ARPA radar
displays.
Before you make a turn, you can use the curved EBL to choose best position to initiate the intended turn. In this so-
called design phase, own ship pushes curved EBL in front of the ship. This design phase is available in the following
conditions:
•
Program track of the Trackpilot
•
Program course change of the Trackpilot
•
Radar steering (available on some ARPA radars)
The curved EBL is locked to its position when own ship initiates a turn by
•
Automatic route steering: Goto WP or Goto Track
•
Program track of the Trackpilot
•
Program course change of the Trackpilot
•
Radar steering: New set course from ARPA radar (available on some ARPA radars)
During the turn you can monitor how your ship performs the intended manuever against the plan by comparing the
Curved EBL position and your current own ship position.
