1.3 Principle of Operation
The autopilot is used for the automatic heading or track control. A microprocessor--con-
trolled control circuit -- taking into account the ship--specific and operation--conditioned
adjustment -- takes over the ship’s steering control (see Fig. 1--2).

NOTE
The automatic heading or track control is a great
ease for the helmsman, but is does not relieve him of
his legal obligatory supervision, i.e.:
-- continuous observation of sea waters! --
If set heading data is above 180
_
the ship will follow the direction entered.
The heading will NOT change over the shorter route.
