Nearest Waypoints Page

The nearest waypoints page displays the nine nearest

airports, VORs, NDBs, INTs, and user waypoints to your
present position, and is extremely useful for locating the
nearest facility during an in-flight emergency. In addition,
nearest flight services stations (FSS), Air Route Traffic
Control Centers (ARTCC), and special use airspace alarms
can also be viewed.

To view the nearest waypoints of a particular catego-

ry, you need to select the desired category from the cate-
gory field at the top of the nearest page. Let’s practice by
viewing the nearest airports to our present position:

1. Press

G

twice to display the nearest page. Most likely,

it still shows nearest SUA alarm information.

2. Press

G

a third time to immediately select airports as

the desired nearest category. This feature is always
available to immediately retrieve airport information.

3. To select a different category, highlight ‘APT’ and press

E

. Use the up and down arrow keys to select the

desired category and press

E

to confirm selection.

The bearing and distance to
the nine nearest airports
may be quickly accessed on
the nearest airport page for
use in an emergency or for
general information.

The nearest SUA page pro-
vides information about
special-use airspace alerts.
