Nearest Airports
Nearest Airport Page
The Nearest Airport Page displays the identifier,
symbol, bearing and distance to the 25 nearest airports
(within 200 NM of your present position). For each
airport listed, the Nearest Airport Page also indicates
the best available approach, common traffic advi-
sory frequency (CTAF) and the length of the longest
runway.
The Nearest Airport Page can be configured to
exclude shorter runways or undesirable runway
surface types, so that the corresponding airports do
not appear on the list. You may wish to use this feature
to exclude seaplane bases or runway lengths which
would be difficult or impossible to land upon.
The Nearest Airport Page may be used to quickly
tune the COM transceiver (GNS 530W only) to a
nearby airport. The selected frequency is placed in the
standby field of the COM window and activated using
the
COM flip-flop
key.
