Airspace Alerts Box
The Airspace Alerts Box displays the Airspace Name,
Status, and Time to Entry. The status and time to entry (if
applicable) is based on the following conditions:
• If the projected course will take the aircraft inside
an airspace within the next ten minutes, the status
field shows the airspace as 'Ahead'.
• If the aircraft is within two nautical miles of an
airspace and the current course will take the
aircraft inside, the status field shows the airspace
as 'Ahead < 2 nm'.
• If the aircraft is within two nautical miles of an
airspace and the current course will not take the
aircraft inside, the status field shows 'Within
2 nm'.
• If the aircraft has entered an airspace, the status
field shows 'Inside'.
NOTE The airspace alerts are based on three-
dimensional data (latitude, longitude and
altitude) to avoid nuisance alerts. The alert
boundaries for controlled airspace are also sec-
tored to provide complete information on any
nearby airspace. Once the described conditions
exists, the status and time of entry is shown if
the airspace alert messages are enabled on the
System Setup Page (Auxiliary Page Group).
