The following descriptions and abbreviations are used:

•Position - Latitude/Longitude (degrees/minutes or degrees/minutes/seconds), MGRS, or UTM/UPS

•RAD - Radial from nearest VOR in degrees magnetic or degrees true (depending upon unit configuration)

•DIS - Distance from nearest VOR, in nautical miles/statute miles/kilometers (depending upon unit configuration)

NOTE: The VOR displayed on the Intersection Page is the nearest VOR, not necessarily the VOR used to define the intersection.

7.9 NDB PAGE

The NDB Page displays the facility name, city, region/ country, latitude, and longitude for the selected NDB (Figure 7-33). The NDB Page also displays the frequency and a weather broadcast indication (if applicable). As mentioned in Section 7.1, NDBs may be selected by identifier, facility name, or location (city).
