🔍 Key Concepts

• Understand the difference between gyro, control, and hand modes on an autopilot/steering system • Know what the emergency procedure is when the autopilot fails to apply corrective rudder • Identify which mode gives you direct manual control of the rudder/steering gear in an emergency

💭 Think About

• If the autopilot is not giving follow-up rudder, what is the safest way to ensure you can immediately steer the vessel yourself? • Which mode bypasses automatic steering functions and allows the helmsman to command the rudder directly? • Think about which mode you would use if all automatic control logic became unreliable or failed.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which mode corresponds to manual steering at the helm • Confirm which modes rely on the gyro input and autopilot control circuits to move the rudder • Ask yourself: in an emergency, do you want to rely on automatic signals, or have direct control of the rudder from the wheel/joy stick?
