Saf et y i nf or ma t i on

Passage making under autopilot control is an enjoyable experience that

can, if you are not careful, lead to the relaxation of the permanent

watch. A permanent watch MUST be maintained no matter how clear

the sea may appear to be.

Remember, a large ship can travel two miles in five minutes – just the

time it takes to make a cup of coffee.

The following rules should always be observed:

•Maintainapermanentwatchandregularlycheckallaroundforother

vessels and obstacles to navigation – no matter how clear the sea

may appear a dangerous situation can develop rapidly.

•Maintainanaccuraterecordofthevessel’spositioneitherbyuseof

a radio navigation receiver or visual bearings.

•Maintainacontinuousplotofpositiononacurrentchart.Ensurethe

locked autopilot heading steers you clear of all obstacles. Make

proper allowance for Tidal Set – the autopilot cannot!

•EvenwhenyourautopilotislockedontothedesiredTrackusinga

radio navigation receiver, always maintain a log and make regular

positional plots. Radio navigation signals can produce significant

errors under some circumstances and the autopilot cannot detect this

situation.

•Makesurethatallmembersofcrewarefamiliarwiththeprocedures

to disengage the autopilot.

Your Raytheon autopilot will add a new dimension to your boating

enjoyment. However, it is the responsibility of the skipper to ensure the

safety of the vessel at all times by careful observance of these basic

rules.

EM C Conf or ma nce

All Raytheon equipment and accessories are designed to the best

industry standards for use in the leisure marine environment.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct

installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised.
