🔍 Key Concepts

• Helm control priorities: gyro-pilot (autopilot) vs. hand steering • Immediate safety actions when a vessel is not answering her ordered course • Difference between correcting the problem vs. reporting the problem

💭 Think About

• If your course is slowly changing under gyro-pilot, what is the quickest way to regain positive control of the ship’s heading? • Which option can you do instantly on the bridge without involving other personnel or changing physical locations? • In an abnormal steering situation, what actions are usually taken after you have first stabilized the ship’s heading?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options involve direct control of the rudder versus communication or relocation. • Consider which action is fastest and keeps control on the bridge where you are. • Think about standard bridge procedures: what must be done before calling the Master or shifting to emergency steering?
