AIS supports changing your status (VSD-AIS) from 0 to 15, to indicate navigational status.

Code: 
AIS signals include a Navigational Status field which is reported by the vessel. This is manually set by the crew. The possible values and their significance are the following:

0 = under way using engine
1 = at anchor
2 = not under command 
3 = restricted maneuverability
4 = constrained by her draught
5 = moored
6 = aground 
7 = engaged in fishing
8 = under way sailing
9 = reserved for future amendment of navigational status for ships carrying DG, HS, or MP, or IMO hazard or pollutant category C, high-speed craft (HSC)
10 = reserved for future amendment of navigational status for ships carrying dangerous goods (DG), harmful substances (HS) or marine pollutants (MP), or IMO hazard or pollutant category A, wing in ground (WIG)
11 = power-driven vessel towing astern (regional use)
12 = power-driven vessel pushing ahead or towing alongside (regional use)
13 = reserved for future use
14 = AIS-SART (active), MOB-AIS, EPIRB-AIS
15 = undefined = default (also used by AIS-SART, MOB-AIS and EPIRB-AIS under test)

Is there any way from the TZT316F to set this value? Does the FA50 even support changing this?
 
It seems odd that class B excludes this. I mean, I get why, as it's not expected recreational boaters are going to have a lot of interest in this, or have gear onboard that makes it realistic. Especially not a decade ago when all this was being developed.

Still, I've often wondered if there was a simple way for me to switch between running/moored/anchored and never got around to digging though the FA50 pages though my slow old MFD12 displays.

Thanks for clearing it up.
 
I assume that some Class B User will make mistakes using such features. I see a lot of Class A „pros“ with a SOG of 20kt wit AIs still saying at anchor. And once a year you can hear CG calling a ship under way wit AIS sending out „not under command“
