Setting Runway Limits for Nearest Waypoints
Narrow the type of airports that you will accept by
choosing the runway length, lighting, and surface
type. The Runway Limits selection also controls the
airports that are displayed in the Map function.

turn the
LARGE
knob to view the “Runway Limits”
display.

. The runway length value will flash.
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.
