Navigating to a Nearby Waypoint
The NRST pages can be used in conjunction with
the 500W-series unit direct-to function to quickly set
a course to a nearby facility. This feature can be a real
time saver compared to retrieving information from
the database using the WPT pages. More importantly,
it instantly provides navigation to the nearest airport in
case of an in-flight emergency.
To select a nearby airport, VOR, NDB, intersection
or user waypoint as a direct-to destination:
1. Use the flashing cursor to scroll through a NRST
page list and highlight the desired nearest
waypoint.
You can select a direct-to destination
directly from a NRST page (e.g. Nearest Air-
ports) by highlighting the desired waypoint
and pressing the direct-to key.
2. Press the direct-to key to display the Select
Direct-to Waypoint Page.
3. Press
ENT
to accept the selected waypoint’s
identifier and press
ENT
a second time (with
“Activate?” highlighted) to begin navigating
to the selected waypoint.
