(turn the right inner knob counterclockwise while in the “pulled-out”
position) through the complete list to reach the nearest list. You will
know when you have reached the nearest list because the top middle
portion of the waypoint page will flash the relative position of the way-
point to your position. “1” indicates
nearest (figure 3-84) while “9” indi-
cates the ninth nearest (figure 3-85).
As you scan clockwise with the right
inner knob “1, 2, 3, ..., 9”, the next
scan position is the beginning of the
complete list. The nearest list can
only be reached by scanning backwards. It does not wrap around
after the last waypoint in the complete list.
Waypoint pages displayed in the nearest list do not contain a latitude
and longitude position as they do in the complete list. Instead, the
bearing and distance to the waypoint (or the radial and distance from
the waypoint) are displayed. In addition, nearest airport pages dis-
play the length, surface, and lighting of the longest runway. Once the
nearest waypoint is being displayed, the other waypoint pages (for
example, APT 2 and APT 3) for that airport are available for display
by making sure the right inner knob is pushed in and then turning it to
select the desired airport page.
3.8.1.1 Nearest Airport Criteria
The nine airports in the nearest list are the nine airports which meet
the criteria selected on the Setup 6 (SET 6) page. For example, you
probably wouldn’t want to take a turboprop into a 1500 foot grass
strip! The SET 6 page allows you to specify what criteria you want an
airport to meet before it is considered for the nearest airport list.
To specify the nearest airport criteria:
1. Select the SET 6 page and turn on the cursor (
B
).
2. Use the right inner knob to select
the minimum length runway
desired for the airport to qualify
for the nearest airport list (figure
3-86). Values between 1000 feet
and 5000 feet in 100 foot incre-
ments may be selected.
3. Rotate the right outer knob clockwise to move the cursor over the
runway surface criteria.
