3.8.2. VIEWING THE NEAREST SPECIAL USE AIRSPACES
The KLX 135A data base stores the locations of areas of special use
airspace (SUA). The types of SUA areas stored in the data base and
the abbreviations used to denote these areas are the following:
Class B Airspace CL B
Class C Airspace CL C
Control Area (used outside USA) CTA
Terminal Area (used outside USA) TMA
Alert Area ALRT
Danger Area DNGR
Prohibited Area PROH
Restricted Area REST
Terminal Radar Service Area TRSA
The nearest special use airspace feature is constantly keeping track
of the five nearest areas of SUA. Pressing the
C and F buttons
and selecting the SUA option will dis-
play the SUA 1 page (figure 3-88) for
the nearest SUA to your location,
including those which you are inside.
Turn to section 3.15 to learn more
about how an altitude input affects
special use airspace sensing and
how the KLX 135A 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.).
Line 3: The altitude limits of the SUA.
Line 4: The proximity of the nearest point on the border of the SUA,
in the form of the absolute bearing, relative bearing, and distance to
the SUA border. The absolute bearing is the approximate heading
you would fly to most quickly get into the SUA. The relative bearing
arrow in the middle of this line points to the SUA border, telling you if
it is directly ahead of you (
), straight off your left wing ( ), etc.
Finally, the distance to the SUA in nautical miles is displayed on the
right side of line 4.
