Not specified, but standard rudder. A CVA/CVS. well over 1000 feet
takes a lot of distance to change on to a new course, Bowditch has a
SLIDE BAR that I sent to Brown, before 1977. The purpose was to end up
on the charted track (DR) when you are not on the track (early(inside/
outside. or late) when using turing bearings. The new Bowditch still
has it.
