a) a duplication of the ECDIS
b) carrying of a complete set of official and up--to--date paper charts
The carriage requirements under Item 2 for a reduced set of official and up--to--
date charts when using the official raster data in RCDS mode
remain unaffected by this. If the requirement for a back--up is met by the
option Item 4.b, the reduced set of charts can, of course, be considered as part
of the back--up.
15.1.1 Back--up ECDIS Version
The back--up version comprises two identical ECDIS units (Console or Table Top
Version).
With the exception of the AUTOPILOT, both ECDIS units are separately supplied
with the required sensor data (gyro compass, log, GPS) via the Com 1....6 inter-
faces.
The AUTOPILOT is usually connected to the ECDIS in the operational area.
In case a discrepancy occurs within the tracking ”ECDIS and AUTOPILOT”,
switch over to another tracking mode.
Sea Charts
The ECDIS is rated for taking over and displaying different digitized charts. For
non--officially approved chart formats an official redundant set of paper charts
shall be provided (chapter 15.1).
Position Display
The redundant position display is ensured by a separate sensor feeding.
Route Planning
Route Planning with the ECDIS
Routes may only be planned and navigated using officially approved and digi-
tized charts (S57) and in connection with an autopilot. The planning of routes
can be effected via both ECDIS systems. The ECDIS transfers the routes auto-
matically via the ethernet.
