The operating mode changes from
Track Control to Heading Control.
The track course becomes set course
(preset heading). As opposed to
manual change--over from Track Con-
trol to Heading Control, the setting of
the manoeuvre parameters might main-
tain as under Track Control.
I. e.:
On straight leg:
-- All values will be adopted from
Heading Control mode.
On curved path:
-- The radius planned for the next
track change manoeuvre is
maintained.
-- The rudder limit remains at Max.
-- Alert “Check Settings” is displayed
(see section 1.4.5.1.7.2).
If during automatic change--over from
Track Control to Heading Control -- the
ship is in a track change manoeuvre,
the track course of the next track sec-
tion is taken as the new set course
(preset heading). The radius planned
for the current track change manoeuvre
is taken as manoeuvre parameter.
