PilotStar D ®
Anschütz PilotStar D is the professional autopilot recommended PilotStar D offers various interfaces that make an installation
for all classes of ships up to a length of 120 m. Due to most on newbuildings and retrofit applications quick and simple.
advanced steering algorithms PilotStar D is well known in the Heading is input from magnetic compass (as NMEA telegram

autopilot provides an interface for a central alarm system. An
PilotStar D is used in heading or waypoint steering control in alarm is transferred to the central alarm panel and can be

speed. A constant rudder trim can be defined to compensate for
drift. FIX TURN allows to perform a definable heading change
to port or starboard by simply clicking a button – an important
feature for workboats. BENEFITS AT A GLANCE

• Ease of use and clear data display
• Remote operator units
• Type approved as heading control system
• Type approved as heading control system for high-speed craft
The operator unit provides clear indication of all necessary data and ease of use NFU Tiller FU Tiller
FLEXIBLE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The Anschütz PilotStar D is a versatile autopilot used in various operator units, follow-up and non-follow-up tillers. These
system environments such as steering gears with switching and tillers are equipped with a take-over function to take over the
proportional solenoids, twin-rudders, rudder propellers and control from the autopilot. Thus a remote steering control
water jet drives. The PilotStar D can be extended by remote system is easily set up.
