French term or phrase: sortie pitch
Someone who bought a sailing boat is taking legal action against the seller on the grounds that they failed to disclose various issues with the boat. These issues include the following: 'radar hors-service, pilote automatique hors-service (*sortie pitch*), désordres structurels sur le fond de coque'.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated, so thanks in advance if you're able to help me with this!

pitch output
Explanation:
'sortie pitch' is half in French and half in English. It refers to the output of the auto-pilot that controls the pitch of the boat.

pitch (en) = tangage (fr)

See: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axes_de_rotation_d'un_aéronef
(this shows an aircraft, but the same terms apply to boats)
