The nearest special use airspace feature is constantly keeping track of the
10 nearest areas of SUA within 175 NM of the aircraft’s present position.
Pressing the

G button and selecting the SUA option will display the

SUA 1 page for the nearest SUA to your location, including those which
you are inside (figure 3-88). Turn to
section 3.13 “Special Use Airspace
Alerting” to learn more about how an
altitude input affects special use air-
space sensing and how the KLN 94
determines if you are inside special
use airspace or not.

The SUA 1 page displays the following information:

Line 1: The name of the special use airspace area.

Line 2: The SUA type (see the list of abbreviations above, this particular
SUA is Class B airspace), and the sequence number (1st nearest, 2nd
nearest, etc.).
