OPERATION
NautoPilot 5000 Series
A mode change from "Heading Control" to "Course Con-
trol" should not be performed during a heading change in
"Heading Control", because of the limited turn rate and the
fact that the actual heading is set to "set course" at the
same time as "Course Control" is activated.
It is therefore advisable to finish a heading change in
"Heading Control" mode before switching over to "Course
Control" mode.
Procedure to switch from "Heading Control" mode to "Course Control" mode
"Heading Control" mode is active.
The mode is displayed at the top right corner of the display
(Heading Ctrl.).
Pressing the "Course" button activates the Course Control
mode.
The mode change is displayed at the top right corner of the
display (Heading Ctrl.  Course Ctrl.).
For heading changes in the mode "Course Control", see
section 4.4.5.
