Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA)
The first ETA is to the current TO waypoint at the
current Ground Speed from the present position.
The second ETA uses the total flight plan distance
remaining to the last waypoint in the flight plan
based on the current Ground Speed. The destination
waypoint is displayed. Units are hours and minutes
(00:00 to 23:59) based on the UTC 24 hour clock.
The values will be replaced with dashes if the speed
is less than 5 knots, there is no valid GPS position,
or the TO and destination waypoints are blank.

Emergency
Search
An important safety feature of the SL50/60 is its
ability to locate waypoints closest to your position.
Should you have to land quickly, you can use this
feature to locate a nearby waypoint, assign it as a
destination, and quickly navigate to it. Besides the
nearest waypoints to your present position, you can
also select a reference waypoint from the database
and search for waypoints near to it. You can set up
the Emergency Search function to filter for certain
airport types you select, such as: runway length,
lighting, and surface type.
