PilotStar NX — is the state-of-the-art Raytheon Anschüt autopilot. Based on the experience of 6.000-installed PilotStar D’s – the well-known predecessor – PilotStar NX offers superior steering performance, which is now combined with an extended range of functionality and an intuitive operation via the seven-inch touch TFT display. PilotStar NX includes the latest technological developments such as Ethernet communication and bridge alert management
Key features:
- Intuitive operation thanks to 7” touch TFT display and large rotary knob for heading changes.
- Graphical user support with heading & rudder plot and track data for perfect adjustment of the autopilot parameters.
- Manual control of steering gear
- Easy installation and first start.
