The waypoint page for the nearest airport is now
displayed on the right side. The right inner knob may
now be used in the normal manner to scan the other
nearest airports, knob in the "out" position, or to view
all eight airport pages for a specific airport, knob in the
"in" position.
When the nearest airport page is initially
displayed, NR 1 is displayed in the upper right hand
corner of the page to designate this airport as the
nearest airport. However, if flight is continued along
the flight plan with this page selected, the same airport
will be displayed and its position in the nearest airports
list will change from NR 1 to NR 2, NR 3 ... NR 9 until
it finally won't be on the nearest airport list.
reason for this is that in the event of an actual
emergency, once an airport has been selected, the list
won't update while maneuvering or looking up data on
other airport pages. To have the NR 1 continuously
change to reflect the nearest airport, perform the
following steps.

pressing the MSG button followed by
pressing the ENT button.
2. Press the right CRSR button.

position, this page will update so that
the nearest airport is always shown as
the flight progresses.
