Once the objective location or heading is achieved, the "In Position" status indicator will turn green and CoPilot will attempt to control
the ROV according to the setting of the Enable Station Keeping selection in User Preferences.
With Enable Station Keeping selected, CoPilot will attempt to keep the ROV within a set tolerance centered about the current
location, but NOT necessarily attempt to maintain the ROV's heading.
With Enable Station Keeping NOT selected, CoPilot will attempt to maintain the ROV's heading, but will NOT necessarily
attempt to keep the ROV within the tolerance box. CoPilot will also attempt to prevent the ROV from moving forward or
backward, but NOT prevent it from drifting laterally.
The user can use the joystick to override AUTO FLY Click and Go mode for horizontal control of the ROV. Depth cannot be
overridden. If manual override is performed, the objective location will become to location of the ROV when the pilot releases the
joystick.
To stop the ROV while under CoPilot control, press the Stay command button. Pressing the Stay command will cause the system to
enter Auto Fly mode.
To exit Auto Fly Click and Go mode, select another Auto Fly mode or Manual mode.
When using the joystick to override Auto Fly mode, the ROV's maximum speed is still restricted by the speed selection. If you
want full power, you will need to change to Manual mode.
If the system loses DP while in an Auto Fly mode, Auto Fly mode will be canceled and manual control mode will be entered.
AUTO FLY ­ Go to Waypoint
In AUTOFLY Go to Waypoint mode, CoPilot will attempt to control the ROV's motion according to keyed in values entered by the
operator. Once the objective location is entered, CoPilot will navigate the ROV to that location at the speed specified by the Velocity
Controls selection.
There are three types of Waypoints:
1. Global Position ­ GPS coordinates and depth (or altitude)
2. Local Position ­ Coordinates entered and depth (or altitude) in a local reference frame
