rudder angle

"Midships," Ryan turned the wheel back to the right to center it, checking his rudder angle indicator.

Moreover, a rudder angle indicator that responds appropriately to the helm is part of the configuration.

For this, the self-propelled model is exposed to a series of zig-zag maneuvers at different rudder angle amplitudes.

Midships (Bring rudder angle to 0 degrees)

Shift your rudder (Steer the same number of degrees but opposite rudder angle)

Von Lappus swore vitriolically, asked, "What's your rudder angle, helm?"

All ships are equipped with indicators giving rudder angle, engine speed, ship speed, wind speed, etc.

Control panels show the usual information (engine speed, rudder angle, heading, log, wind speed and direction, shackles of chain lowered).

A helmsman relies upon visual references, a magnetic and gyrocompass, and a rudder angle indicator to steer a steady course.

She dived and went deep but was severely jolted by four depth charges that knocked out her bow planes, rudder angle indicator, and port annunciator.

'Marblehead's engineers soon released the rudder angle 9 to starboard, and at 1255, she retired to Tjilatjap, steering by working the engines at varying speeds.

The wheelhouses of the two ferries differed slightly due to different positioning of rudder angle indicators and engine RPM gauges in the bridge wings.

Chadburn synchrostep telegraphs and rudder angle indicators, hydraulic steering telemotor and an automatic whistle control could be found in both the wheelhouse and the navigation boxes.

Out on the water, Mr. Schnepp assumed a poker-faced attentiveness to the sea, as he matter-of-factly directed the helmsman to change speed, alter the rudder angle and position the tugboat for a needed nudge.

The towing carriage can either tow the model or follow the self-propelled model, and is equipped with computers and devices to register or control, respectively, variables such as speed, propeller thrust and torque, rudder angle etc.

And the yaw damper, an automatic system that makes small changes in the rudder angle to keep the nose and tail lined up precisely in the direction of travel, will be replaced with a newer model that substitutes electronic parts for mechanical ones.

Instead of looking out the windows, which are fake, the class concentrates on banks of instrumentation: wind speed and direction indicators, radar, Loran C and satellite navigation units, automatic direction finder, depth sounder, radio, a steering stand, and a console with such readouts as rudder angle and engine revolutions.

On merchant ships, it is taught at the various maritime academies that the proper way to relieve the helm is for the helmsman being relieved to call out loudly the ship's course per gyro, course per standard magnetic compass, steering mode, rudder angle, and the pump the vessel is steering off of.

Controls and guages on the simulator - which the Academy has acronymed "SCANTS" for Ship Control And Navigation Training System - are a console, and indictors for radar, heading, depth below keel, speed, propeller pitch, RPM's, wind, rudder angle and turn rate.
