INTRODUCTION

Nearest (NRST) Pages

The NRST Page Group provides detailed information on the nine nearest airports, VORs, NDBs, intersections, and user-created waypoints within 200 nm of the current position. In addition, pages are also provided to display the ﬁve nearest center (ARTCC/FIR) and Flight Service Station (FSS) points of communication, plus alert the pilot to any nearby special-use or controlled airspaces.

There are eight pages available in the NRST group:

•Nearest Airport Page

•Nearest NDB Page

•Nearest User Waypoints Page

•Nearest FSS Page

•Nearest Intersection Page

•Nearest VOR Page

•Nearest ARTCC Page

•Nearest Airspace Page

The communication frequencies and runway information may both be examined directly from the Nearest Airport Page. As discussed earlier for the NAV/ COM Page, the pilot may also place any displayed frequency into the standby COM or VLOC ﬁeld by highlighting the frequency with the cursor and pressing the ENT Key.

Displaying the NRST pages:

1)If necessary, press and hold the CLR Key to select the NAV group and display the Default NAV Page.

2)Turn the large right knob to select the NRST Page Group, as indicated by ‘NRST’ appearing in the lower right corner of the screen.

3)Turn the small right knob to select the desired NRST Page.

Displaying a list of nearby airports:

1)Turn the large right knob to select the NRST Page Group and (if needed) the small right knob to select the Nearest Airport Page (Figure 1-25).
