Using and switching between Economy and Precision mode (not for NP 5100)
In Economy mode a low rudder activity is selected, in Precision a higher rudder
activity is selected.
The selected mode is displayed in the top bar.
Please note:
It is advisable not to set Economy mode during passages through restricted
areas, channels, waterways or harbors.
With switching into Economy mode, the rudder activities (movements) are reduced.
Switching into Precision mode the controller operates at a higher sensitivity to
the heading difference, i.e. higher rudder activity.
Using Economy mode reduces fuel consumption and heading accuracy.
