NEAREST INFORMATION
The aera provides a Nearest function which gives the pilot quick access to nearest
airport, weather, VOR, NDB, intersection, user waypoint, city, ARTCC, FSS, and airspace
information. If there are none available, “None Within 200 NM” is displayed.
The Nearest functions contain the following information.
• Airport—identifier, bearing, distance, length of the longest runway, and common
traffic advisory (CTAF) or tower frequency.
• Airport WX (Airport Weather)—identifier, bearing, distance, METAR text, and ATIS,
AWOS, or ASOS frequency.
• VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Radio Beacon)—identifier, facility type (symbol), bearing,
distance, and frequency.
• NDB (Non Directional Beacons)—identifier, facility, type (symbol), bearing, distance,
and frequency.
• Intersection—identifier, bearing, and distance.
