Q

The "Mode" selector switch can be positioned and select all of the following EXCEPT __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Typical modes found on an autopilot or steering control panel (e.g., hand, non-followup, automatic/gyro) • The difference between a steering mode and a setting or feature (like trim or sensitivity) • How the Mode selector switch is labeled and what it is actually used to select

💭 Think About

• Look at each choice and ask: is this something the helmsman would select as a primary steering mode, or is it more like a fine-tuning adjustment? • Which of these options directly controls how the rudder orders are generated and followed, and which one sounds more like a condition-based adjustment? • On a typical ship’s steering console, what labels do you actually see around the mode selector knob?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which items are known steering modes on standard autopilot/steering systems • Check if any option sounds like a feature or parameter you might adjust within a mode rather than a mode itself • Confirm that the Mode selector switch is limited to choosing between different ways of steering (manual vs automatic), not environmental settings
