How can AIS data be put to best use in practice? What information does the system provide – and how reliable is it? In this webinar, yachting expert Sven M. Rutter explains how AIS works, what is important when using it, and what opportunities the technology offers to skippers of recreational craft.

  • How does AIS work, and what data is transmitted?
  • What are the benefits of having AIS on board, and what equipment is required for this?
  • How can AIS information be correctly interpreted and utilised in practice?
  • What do metrics such as CPA, TCPA, HDG, range and similar figures mean?
  • What display and filter options are available?
  • What alarm and warning functions are available?
  • What are AIS AtoNs and ‘safety-related messages’, and what is their significance?
  • How can you improve your own visibility via AIS?
  • What are the differences between AIS and radar?
  • How should AIS apps and internet-based services be assessed?
  • How reliable is AIS data overall, and where is a healthy dose of scepticism warranted?
