🔍 Key Concepts

• Autopilot basic operation – how it uses course error to move the rudder • Difference between calibrating/aligning instruments and controlling steering behavior • How rudder movement is related to course error in automatic steering systems

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: does this control change how the autopilot interprets the rudder’s actual physical position, or how aggressively it STEERS using that rudder? • Which option most clearly sounds like a calibration or alignment function rather than a steering performance setting? • Think about what you would adjust if the rudder angle indicator didn’t match the real rudder position – which choice describes that situation best?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options deal with course error and steering response versus instrument alignment/calibration • Check which choice describes a one-time or occasional setup action, not something you constantly change while steering • Eliminate any choices that sound like normal autopilot control parameters (e.g., rate, gain, or response level) rather than a calibration setting
