🔍 Key Concepts

• Autopilot basic function – what does it actually control on the vessel? • Rudder position sensing / feedback – how does the system know if the helm order was carried out? • Difference between navigation inputs (like GPS) and steering-control components

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: can an autopilot still steer a set heading without any position information from satellites? • Which option is directly tied to knowing the actual angle/position of the rudder, rather than where the ship is on the earth? • Which items listed are "nice to have" extras versus something the steering control loop absolutely must have to function safely?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is part of the closed-loop steering control system (helm order → rudder movement → feedback). • Eliminate items that are used mainly for navigation, tracking, or security, not for physically controlling the rudder angle. • Verify that your chosen component would still be needed on a simple coastal vessel with no GPS or advanced security systems but that still uses an autopilot.
