Waypoint
An important safety feature of the SL50/60 is its
ability to locate waypoints closest to your position.
Should you have to land quickly, you can use this
feature to locate a nearby waypoint, assign it as a
destination, and quickly navigate to it. Besides the
nearest waypoints to your present position, you can
also select a reference waypoint from the database
and search for waypoints near to it. You can set up
the Emergency Search function to filter for certain
airport types you select, such as: runway length,
lighting, and surface type. See page 25 in the
Navigation Basics section for more details on using
Emergency Search.
Starting Emergency Search

type and options: Airport, VOR, NDB,
