Navigating to a Nearby Waypoint
The NRST pages can be used in conjunction with the GNS 430’s direct-to
function to quickly set a course to a nearby facility. This feature can be a real time saver
compared to retrieving information from the database using the WPT pages. More
importantly, it instantly provides navigation to the nearest airport in case of an in-fl ight
emergency.
To select a nearby airport, VOR, NDB, intersection or user waypoint as a direct-to
destination:
1. Use the flashing cursor to scroll through a NRST page list and highlight the desired nearest
waypoint, as outlined on page 120.
2. Press D to display the select direct-to waypoint page.
3. Press E to accept the selected waypoint’s identifier and press E a second time (with
“Activate?” highlighted) to begin navigating to the selected waypoint.
Nearest Airport Page
The nearest airport page displays the identifi er, symbol, bearing and distance to the
nine nearest airports (within 200 nautical miles of your present position). For each airport
listed, the nearest airport page also indicates the best available approach, common traffi c
advisory frequency (CTAF) and the length of the longest runway.
