Viewing Communication Frequencies

The Nearest Pages list up to five nearest flight service station 

(FSS) and air route traffic control center (ARTCC) points of 

communication. The closest communication point is shown first, 

with additional points available when selected. For duplex operation, 

the corresponding VOR is listed (by identifier) and the transmit and 

receive frequencies are denoted by a TX and RX respectively.

To view additional communication frequencies:

1.  Press 

NRST

 to open the Nearest Pages. 

2.  Use the 

ROCKER

 to select the 

ARTCC

 or 

FSS 

sub tab.

3.  Press the 

ROCKER

 down to highlight 

Center 

or 

Station 

(based which tab you are on), and press 

ENTER

.

ARTCC Tab

4.  Select the numbered item that you want from the list, and 

press 

ENTER

 to show the communication information. The 

lowest numbers on the list are the closest communication 

points.

Viewing Airspace Alert Information

When an airspace alert appears, press 

NRST

 

to automatically show 

nearby airspace information in the Airspace tab. This information 

includes name, time to entry (if applicable), and status. Normally, 

only one or two airspace alerts occur at a time, but with sectorized 

controlled airspace, such as many Class B areas, there are more. 

Status information can appear as follows:

Ahead

—your projected course takes you inside an airspace within 

the next 10 minutes or less.

Near

—you are within two nautical miles of an airspace but not 

projected to enter it.

Near & Ahead

—you are within two nautical miles of an airspace 

and your current course takes you inside the airspace.

Inside Airspace

—you are within the boundaries of the airspace.
