2.1.6 Pre-set turn procedure

The second approach to turning allows for the setting of turn
radius or rate before the turn starts, and results in a more
precise starting point for the turn.
Pre-set turns are programmed in the TURN PRESET panel,
which is invoked by pressing TURN PRESET when not in a
turn. Now preset the course by turning the rotary knob or
operating the PORT and STBD buttons until the wanted course
and turn direction appears on the top line of the text display.

Activate the turn by pressing ACTIVATE PRESET while still in
the TURN PRESET panel. EXEC will now flash in the lower line
in the text display, and the pre-set course will be shown in the
large course display.
Both the desired course and the rate or radius can be readjusted
during the turn. Remember to depress the rotary knob once
before using it. The desired change will take effect
immediately.
EXEC will flash until the turn has finished. At that point the
TURN PRESET panel automatically closes.
At any time, and without disturbing the pre-setting or
execution of a turn it is possible to leave the TURN PRESET
panel by pressing CLEAR, and return to it later.
