Introduction

This chapter describes the steering functions (trackpilot) available with connection of the optional FURUNO
Autopilot FAP-2000. This Autopilot FAP-2000 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.
