Dangers
The Dangers tab folder enables the operator to
view objects and areas that could endanger the
safety of own ship on the edited route.
When a route is opened for editing or monitoring
the system continually searches the chart
database and mariner objects database for
objects and areas that intersect the route plan
safety region.
WARNING:
TEMPORARY ROUTES ARE NOT
SEPARATELY SAFETY CHECKED. THE
OPERATOR MUST RELY ON OWN SHIP
SAFETY REGION FOR DETECTING
DANGERS WHILE OWN SHIP IS ON A
TEMPORARY ROUTE.
Route dangers are listed in a directory tree, with
the dangers separated into the number of leg and
turn segments on the route, the number being
dependant on the number of waypoints on the
route.
If the List Cautions check box is ticked the
directory tree will also include cautions related to that segment.
To view dangers or cautions on the display do the following.
1. Navigate to the required route segment by clicking on the box.
Each Leg or Turn segment is further divided into Dangers and
Cautions sub directories.
2. To view a route segment's dangers click on the Dangers box.
Any dangers related to that segment are listed in the directory.
3. To view the dangers on the chart display click on each danger in
the list. A graphic representation of the danger is displayed across
the affected area of the route and a description of the danger,
including its Latitude/Longitude position, appears in the Description
field.
