Pattern Steering; U-Turn; C-Turn - Simrad AP25 Instruction Manual

2.10 PATTERN steering

The AP25 offers a number of different pattern steering features
when in AUTO mode. The U-turn pattern is always available.
Other turn patterns can be selected under the User Set-up 2
menu. Refer to Turn Pattern select on page 41.

U-turn

This feature is very useful in a man overboard situation and
whenever you want to steer back on a reciprocal heading.
U-Turn changes the current set course to be 180 degrees in the
opposite direction. The user must decide whether the U-Turn
should be made to Port or Starboard when bringing the boat on
the new course. U-Turn is activated by a quick press on the
TURN/DODGE button. The AP25 will continue on the set
course until you press either the PORT or STBD button to select
the direction to make the U-Turn. If you do not press PORT or
STBD within 1 minute, the AP25 will return to the AUTO mode
and stay on course.

The user decides whether the C-turn should be made to Port or to
Starboard.
Ensure that the C-turn pattern has been selected under the User
Set-up 2 menu. Refer to Turn Pattern select on page 41.
To enter C-turn mode:
First select U-turn with a press of the TURN/DODGE button.
