SPECIAL USE AND CONTROLLED AIRSPACE
The last page in the NRST group, the nearest airspace page, provides information for
up to nine controlled or special-use airspaces near or in your flight path. Airspace
information appears on this page based upon the same criteria used for airspace alert
messages. Nearby airspace information and airspace alert messages are provided
according to the following conditions:
• If your projected course will take you inside an airspace within the next ten
minutes, the message 'Airspace ahead - - less than 10 minutes' will appear.
• If you are within two nautical miles of an airspace and your current course
will take you inside, the message 'Airspace near and ahead' will appear.
• If you are within two nautical miles of an airspace and your current course
will not take you inside, the message 'Near airspace less than 2 nm' will
appear.
• If you have entered an airspace, the message 'Inside Airspace' will appear.
By default, airspace alert messages are turned off. When turned on, the message
(MSG) annunciator located directly above the MSG-key will flash to alert you to the
airspace message.
To view an airspace alert message:
1. Press the MSG-key. The message page appears with the alert
message.
2. Press MSG again to return to the previous display.
