Taking command
Take command by pressing the
CMD
key. When command is
transferred, the autopilot system will remain in current mode.
In an open system (no command transfer restrictions), you will get
immediate control on the remote unit requesting command.
In a multi-station system with active lock function, the command
request must be confirmed on the active control unit before you
can use the remote.
