(5) Observe the performance of the autopilot when
changing course. The rudder gain value is inversely
proportional, therefore, if the rate of turn is too SLOW,
REDUCE the value of rudder gain and the autopilot will
use more rudder. If the rate of turn is too FAST,
INCREASE the value of rudder gain and the autopilot will
use less rudder.
(6) Adjust the Rudder Gain to give an average rate
of turn of approximately 6
o
to 8
o
per second.
