    10 Using the autopilot If an AC12 or AC42 autopilot computer is connected to the NSE system, autopilot functionality will appear in the NSE page system. The Autopilot feature is designed to maintain an accurate course in various sea conditions with minimal helm movements. As the autopilot steers so accurately, it will save fuel and get you to your destination faster, especially when navigating to a waypoint or following a route.

  • Page 61: The Autopilot Panel

  • Page 67: Nodrift Mode

    Depth gain This parameter determines the ratio between commanded rudder and the deviation from the selected depth contour. The higher depth gain value the more rudder is applied. If the value is too small it will take a long time to compensate for drifting off the set depth contour, and the autopilot will fail to keep the boat on the selected depth.
  • Page 68 When the Navigation mode is initiated, the pilot will automatically keep the vessel on the leg. When your vessel reaches the arrival circle for a waypoint, the pilot will give an audible warning and display an alert screen with the new course information. If the required course change to the next waypoint is less than the Navigation change limit, the autopilot will automatically change the course.

  • Page 69: Sailing With The Autopilot

    Sailing with the autopilot Several sailing parameter should be defined before entering Wind or WindNav mode. These parameters are described in the separate Autopilot installation section. Wind vane steering The WIND mode is only available if the system has been set up for sailboat in the Autopilot Installation menu.
  • Page 70 Tacking in Auto mode Tacking in AUTO mode is different from tacking in WIND mode. In AUTO mode the tack angle is fixed and as defined by the user. Refer to the sailing setup description in the separate Autopilot Installation section.

  • Page 71: Wind Steering And Navigation

    Wind steering and navigation In Wind Nav the autopilot steers the boat given both wind data and track data from a GPS/chart plotter. In Wind Nav mode the autopilot calculate the initial course change needed to navigate towards the active waypoint, but the pilot will also utilize the current wind direction in the calculation.

  • Page 72: Using The Nse In An Ap24/Ap28 System

    Sailboats When sailing in WIND mode, the parameter set is determined by the speed of the boat and the direction of the wind as illustrated below. So if you lose too much speed e.g. when tacking, the parameters will change to HI to gain sufficient rudder response. This should be observed when setting the transition speed on sailboats.
  • Page 73 Using the Autopilot in a EvC System When the NSE is connected to an EVC system via the SG05, you can take manual control of the steering irrespective of the autopilot mode. The mode indicator on the pilot pop-up will be replaced by a dash to indicate EVC override.
