Using the autopilot | NSS Operator Manual
The autopilot panel
The autopilot panel is used to display information when you are navigating. It replaces the
autopilot pop-up when used in full screen, or on any pages where it is used as a split pane.
The autopilot mode indication bar will also not be shown when the autopilot panel is used.
The shortcut icon used to activate the autopilot panel is by default available on the Pages
panel. The panel can however only be used when an AC12, AC42 or SG05 computer is
available on the network.
Data elds
The autopilot panel shows destination name, heading and rudder information. The following
abbreviations are used:
CTS Course to steer
DTD Distance to destination
SOG Speed over ground
COG Course over ground
DTW Distance to next waypoint
XTE Cross track error
Selecting autopilot modes
You select an automatic mode or a feature from the Autopilot Mode selection menu,
activated by tapping the mode icon or by pressing the MENU key.
Autopilot mode overview
The autopilot has several steering modes. Number of modes and features within the mode
depend on boat type and available inputs, as shown in table on the next page.
