8.8 NEAREST FLIGHT SERVICE STATION
(FSS) PAGE
The Nearest Flight Service Station Page (Figure 8-23)
displays the facility name, bearing to, and distance to the
five nearest FSS points of communication (within 200 nm
of the present position). For each FSS listed, the Near-
est Flight Service Station Page also indicates one or more
frequencies and may be used to quickly tune the COM
transceiver to the FSS’s frequency. The selected frequency
is placed in the standby field of the COM Window and
activated using the COM Flip-flop Key.
For duplex operations, ‘RX’ and ‘TX’ indications
appears beside the listed frequencies, indicating ‘receive
only’ or ‘transmit only’ frequencies. The associated VOR
is also provided for reference.
