3 Advanced Operation<br />

Cross track error<br />

Cross track error (XTE) is the distance between the current position<br />

and a planned route. The autopilot receives the cross track error<br />

information from the navigation equipment, and displays the XTE in<br />

nautical miles (nm), statute miles (SM) or kilometres.<br />

If the cross track error is greater than 0.3 nm, the <strong>ST6001</strong>+ will sound<br />

the Large Cross Track Error warning and show whether you are to the<br />

port (Pt) or starboard (Stb) of the planned track.
