VDO LOGIC PILOT
The VDO LOGIC PILOT is a modern autopilot system which is
intended for use in recreational sailing.
When in operation, the analogue display shows the course
deviation (OFF COURSE) in pilot mode and the rudder position
(RUDDER) in standby mode. Further values and aids to operation
appear in the display panel below the dial.
The unit has six large keys on the front, to which all the functions
are logically assigned. Handling of the machine is therefore simple
and uncomplicated.
In auto-adaptive pilot mode, the electronic controller automatically
adapts the settings to reflect the ambient conditions. This
behaviour ensures optimum steering, even in changing wind and
sea conditions.
Connection of the compass probe to the electronic controller is
necessary for the unit to load the compass course. The electronic
