NRST PAGES
Navigating to a Nearby Waypoint
The NRST pages can be used in conjunction with the
500 Series direct-to function to quickly set a course to a
nearby facility, and can provide navigation to the nearest
airport in case of an in-flight emergency.
Selecting 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 (Figure 7-5) and highlight the desired
nearest waypoint, as outlined in Section 7.1.

Key
a second time with ‘Activate?’ highlighted to
begin navigating to the selected waypoint.

The
Nearest Airport Page can be configured to exclude
shorter runways or undesirable runway surface types,
so that the corresponding airports do not appear on the
list. The pilot may wish to use this feature to exclude
seaplane bases or runway lengths which would be difficult
or impossible to land upon. See Section 8.5, Setup Page:
Nearest Airport Criteria for additional details.
