Heading Control System NAVIPILOT 4000+
• Fully self-tuning adaptive heading control
• Manual selection of steering strategy to suit weather conditions
• Rate and radius control modes
• EC type approved by Germanischer Lloyd, Germany, to MED 96/98/EC (Wheelmark)
• Meets the requirements of all major classification societies
• Ease of use with logical arrangement of sealed foil keyboard
The following standard features are integrated in all NAVIPILOT 4000 configurations:
• Heading keeping with minimum rudder motion
• Course change control by setting either turn rate or turn radius
