commissioning the Simrad AP50 Autopilot Plus System. Great
care has been taken to simplify the set-up and operation and of

the Operator Manual to get a thorough understanding of the
autopilot system components and their relationship in a
complete AP50 Autopilot Plus System.

which will help you when studying the manual.
