When steering on autopilot which of the following input conditions may NOT have an effect on the control of the steering gear?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Autopilot control loop – what signals the autopilot actually uses to move the rudder • Difference between follow‑up and non‑followup steering controls • Purpose of rudder adjustment and weather adjustment settings on an autopilot

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which of these items is an actual setting or input that the autopilot can use while it is in automatic mode? • Consider which choice describes a separate control mode rather than a fine‑tuning input to the autopilot. • Think about how helmsmen switch between manual steering (including NFU) and automatic steering – when you are on autopilot, which of these is normally active and influencing the steering gear?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options are autopilot tuning parameters (they change how the autopilot responds but keep it in auto mode). • Identify which option refers to direct manual control of the rudder instead of autopilot control. • Before choosing, be sure you can explain in one sentence how each option would, or would not, send commands to the steering gear while in autopilot mode.
