El autopiloto decide en cada momento la utilización del timón, por lo que es necesario ajustar convenientemente los regímenes de máquina en cada momento para un gobierno efectivo del barco. [...] El piloto automático tiene como parámetros de definición una constante de tiempo del barco y la distancia de anticipación para la corrección de la trayectoria, y puede ajustarse con varios tanteos previos. 2, record 1, Spanish, - piloto%20autom%C3%A1tico
