MENU
Airspace alarms are designed to provide message alerts in several stages, depending on whether you
are projected to enter an airspace or are just in close proximity. The GPSMAP 295 provides the
following airspace alerts:
• Ahead—your projected course will take you inside an airspace within the next ten minutes or less.
• Near—you are within two nautical miles of an airspace, but not projected to enter it.
• Near & Ahead—you are within two nautical miles of an airspace and your current course will
take you inside the airspace.
• Inside Airspace—you are within the boundaries of the airspace.
Some airspace altitude limits may be charted in terms of altitude above ground level
(AGL). If the actual lower limit of an airspace is charted in AGL, the GPSMAP 295 will
alert you at any altitude below the upper limit. However, if the actual upper limit is also
charted in AGL, the GPSMAP 295 will provide the alert at all altitudes.
Alarms for most categories by be turned off, except for Prohibited Areas. Disabling an
airspace alert will prevent the alert message, but the airspace boundary will still appear
on the map.
If you fly above or below an airspace, then descend or climb to enter the airspace, the
‘Inside Airspace’ message may be the only alert provided! The ‘Airspace Ahead’ and/or
‘Airspace Near’ messages will not occur if you are outside the vertical limits defined by
the airspace plus the altitude buffer setting.
Main Menu: Airspace
‘Inside Airspace’ occurs when you are within the boundaries
of an airspace.
Select the ‘AIRSPACE’ tab to view airspace alert settings.
You may enable/disable the airspace alerts by the individual
categories.
