Osprey
is equipped with a comprehensive multi-function SIMRAD NSS evo3
navigation system, which includes navigation displays, radar, automatic
identification system (AIS), fish finder, and autopilot. All of the equipment
works together to provide a wealth of information and control in all phases
of operation.
This is a complex system, and it is beyond the scope of these Notes to describe
its operation in full. We therefore suggest that you familiarize yourself with its
capabilities and operation before boarding. Hardcopy manuals are available
on board located under the port side pilot house seat. You can also access
the operations manuals online using the link below:

The notes below summarize the main elements of the system and the
practices we’ve found that work for us, so they should work for you too.
Multifunction Display (MFD)
At the helm is the 12” multifunction touch
screen display unit. The MFD is the central hub
of the system where you will look for situational
awareness -- where you are, obstacles and
hazards, which direction you are headed, how
fast you are going, how deep is the water in
the area, where are the adjacent land masses
and navigation markers, what other reporting
vessels are in the area (using AIS feature), radar
information, etc.
When we are cruising, we usually select the
full-size chart depiction on the MFD and set
the range for 6nm. This gives you a good view of the area ahead of the
vessel, sea bottom contours, radar returns, AIS targets. In and close to the
harbor or anchorage, we slow down and range in to the 0.5 or 1.0 nm range.
In inclement weather, we use the split screen format where half the display
is a chart, the other half is a radar return page. We like this because when
really focusing on radar, a screen just dedicated to the radar return will allow
you to see small targets that may get lost in a radar overlay format.
The navigation system is capable of being easily programmed for an entire
route, from start to finish (See NSS evo3 manual). While underway, select a
heading and monitor the green ‘track’ line on the display to ensure you are
