Nearest (NRST) Pages

The NRST Page Group provides detailed information

on the nine nearest airports, VORs, NDBs, intersections,
and user-created waypoints within 200 nm of the current
position. In addition, pages are also provided to display
the five nearest center (ARTCC/FIR) and Flight Service
Station (FSS) points of communication, plus alert the
pilot to any nearby special-use or controlled airspaces.

There are eight pages available in the NRST group:

• Nearest Airport Page
• Nearest NDB Page
• Nearest User Waypoint Page
• Nearest FSS Page
• Nearest Intersection Page
• Nearest VOR Page
• Nearest ARTCC Page
• Nearest Airspace Page

The communication frequencies and runway

information may both be examined directly from the
Nearest Airport Page. As discussed earlier for the NAV/
COM Page, the pilot may also place any displayed
frequency into the standby COM field by highlighting the
frequency with the cursor and pressing the ENT Key.

Displaying the NRST pages:

1) Press the NRST Key to select the Nearest

Airport Page (Figure 1-25).

2) Turn the small right knob to select the desired

NRST Page.
