Changing commanded rudder direction
By default, the rudder moves in the same direction as the lever on
FU80 and NF80. When you press the lever to port, the rudder is
directed to port.
If the lever is rotated 180° on FU80, or if FU80/NF80 are mounted
facing aft, the rudder movement can be inverted to maintain a
rudder command that coincide with the lever movement.
The direction of the port/starboard commands can be changed
from the Main menu. Refer “Changing default settings” on page
18.
Alarms
All units, both active and inactive, will notify the user if an alarm
situations occurs in the autopilot system.
If the sound is enabled, any alarm message will be followed by a
sound.
The CMD and LIGHT keys are used to acknowledge or mute the
alarm sound.
¼ Note: The alarm can only be acknowledged from an active unit.
If the cause for the alarm situation is removed, the alarm dialog will
disappear when you press the CMD key.
If the cause for alarm remains after acknowledged, the alarm dialog
will be replaced by an alarm icon.
If the alarm is steering critical (e.g. rudder feedback failure), the lever
or stick will not operate as usual when in an alarm situation.
For alarm text, probable faults and corrective actions, refer to your
autopilot Operator manual.
