In my recent watch cycle I have encountered the following issues:

  1. Several vessels heading digitizer (feed to the AIS) is either off or not synchronized
     
  2. Static data is incorrect ( in this particular case, no ship dimensions)
     
  3. Pilot plug is not wired to the AIS junction box
     
  4. No gyro heading feed to AIS
     
  5. Obvious lack of crew training with the AIS unit
