8.9 NEAREST AIRSPACE PAGE

The last page in the NRST group, the Nearest Airspace

Page (Figure 8-29) alerts the pilot to as many as nine
controlled or special use airspaces near or in the flight
path. Alerts are provided according to the following
conditions:

• If the projected course will take the aircraft inside

an airspace within the next ten minutes, the alert
message ‘Airspace ahead -- less than 10 minutes’
appears (Figure 8-27). The Nearest Airspace Page
shows the airspace as ‘Ahead’.

Figure 8-27 Airspace Messages

• If the aircraft is within two nautical miles of

an airspace and the current course will take
the aircraft inside, the message ‘Airspace near
and ahead’ appears (Figure 8-27). The Nearest
Airspace Page shows ‘Within 2nm of airspace’.

• If the aircraft is within two nautical miles of an

airspace and the current course will not take the
aircraft inside, the message ‘Near airspace less
than 2nm’ appears. The Nearest Airspace Page
shows the airspace as ‘Ahead < 2nm’.
