Nearest Airport Runway Criteria

To avoid nuisance alerts during an approach, separate airport runway settings
may be configured for the TAWS/HTAWS alerting function. Contact your installer
for information about these settings.
Nearest airport runway criteria do not affect the best glide airport indicator.
