5.4 Control position

  5.4.1 All directional control systems should normally be operated from the craft's operating station.

  5.4.2 If directional control systems can also be operated from other positions, then two-way communication should be arranged between the operating station and these other positions.

  5.4.3 Adequate indications should be provided at the operating station and these other positions to provide the person controlling the craft with verification of the correct response of the directional control device to this demand, and also to indicate any abnormal responses or malfunction. The indications of steering response or rudder angle indicator should be independent of the system for directional control. The logic of such feedback and indications should be consistent with the other alarms and indications so that in an emergency operators are unlikely to be confused.
