The
Nearest Airport Page may be used in conjunction
with the
Direct-to
Key to quickly set a course to a nearby
facility in an in-flight emergency. Selecting a nearby
airport as a direct-to destination overrides the flight plan
or cancels a previously selected direct-to destination. (The
pilot still has the option of returning to the flight plan
by cancelling the direct-to; see Section 3.1, Cancelling
Direct-to Navigation.)
Selecting a nearby airport as a direct-to
destination from the Nearest Airport Page:
1) From the Nearest Airport Page, press the small
right
knob to activate the cursor.
2) Turn the large
right
knob to select the desired
airport from the list.
3) Press the
Direct-to
Key.
4) Press the
ENT
Key.
5) Press the
ENT
Key (again) to navigate to the
nearby airport.
Selecting a nearby airport as a direct-to
destination from an Airport Information
Page:
1) Press the
Direct-to

2) Press the
ENT
Key (Figure 1-26).

3) Press the
ENT
Key again to navigate to the
nearby airport.
Nearest (NRST) Airspace Page
The last page in the NRST group, the Nearest Airspace
Page (Figure 1-27), provides information for up to nine
controlled or special-use airspaces near or in the flight
path.
Airspace information appears on this page based on
the same criteria used for airspace alert messages:
• If the projected course will take the aircraft inside
an airspace within the next ten minutes, the
message ‘Airspace ahead -- less than 10 minutes’
appears.
• If the aircraft is within 2 nm of an airspace and the
current course will take it inside of the airspace,
the message ‘Airspace near and ahead’ appears.
• If the aircraft is within 2 nm of an airspace and
the current course will not take it inside of the air-
space, the message ‘Near airspace less than 2nm’
appears.
• If the aircraft has entered an airspace, the message
‘Inside airspace’ appears.
