 2.4 Yaw checking tests (trial or estimated)

Zig-zag (or Kempf) manoeuvre

The manoeuvre provides a qualitative measure of the effectiveness of the rudder to initiate and
check changes of heading.

The manoeuvre is performed in the following manner. With the ship steaming at a uniform speed
and on a constant heading a nominal rudder angle, say 20 degrees, is applied as quickly and as
smoothly as possible and held constant until the ships heading has changed by 20 degrees
(check angle) from the base course. At this point 20 degrees of opposite rudder is applied and
held until the ships heading has crossed the base course and is 20 degrees in the opposite
direction, the rudder is then reversed as before. This procedure is repeated until the ships head
has passed through the base course 5 times. During the manoeuvre the ships heading and
rudder angle are recorded continuously. The usual rudder angle/check angle used is 20
degrees/20 degrees but other combinations are 5 degrees/20 degrees and 10 degrees/20
degrees. The main parameters used for comparison are the overshoot angle, overshoot time and
the period.

 Pull out manoeuvre

The pull out manoeuvre was developed as a simple test to give a quick indication of a ships
course stability. The ship is held on a steady course and at a steady speed. A rudder angle of
approximately 20 degrees is applied and the ship allowed to achieve a steady rate of turn; at this
point the rudder is returned to midships. The rate of turn is now allowed to decay with the rudder
held amidships. If the ship is stable the rate of turn will decay to zero for turns to both port and
starboard. If the ship has a steering bias, then port and starboard turns will decay to the same
small rate of turn on whichever hand the bias exists. If the ship is unstable then the rate of turn
will reduce to some residual rate of turn as shown in the diagram.
