SEL Turn the SMALL knob to select the minimum runway length you want considered. Choosing a length of 0 feet means you will accept any runway length. Choosing a runway length, for instance, of 5,000 feet, will not show an available airport with a runway length less than 5,000 feet either for a Nearest Waypoint or as an airport icon on the Map display. Note that a waypoint with a runway of 0 length will not appear on either the nearest list, or on the map, if a length is set for the runway limit that is greater than 0. User Waypoints will show.
