From page 10 you may recall that one of the main page groups, NRST, provides listings for nearest air-
ports or other facilities. The NRST group includes detailed information on the nine nearest airports, VORs,
NDBs, intersections and user-created waypoints within 200 nautical miles of your current position. In ad-
dition, pages are also provided to display the fi ve nearest center (ARTCC/FIR) and Flight Service Station (FSS)
points of communication, plus alert you to any special-use or controlled airspace you may be in or near.
To display the NRST pages:
1. If necessary, press the small right knob to remove the cursor from the page.
2. Rotate the large right knob to select the NRST page group, as indicated by "NRST" appearing in the lower
right corner of the screen (see page 10).
3. Rotate the small right knob to select the desired NRST page.
The Nearest Airport Page (shown at left) is one of eight pages available under the NRST group:
• Nearest Airport Page
• Nearest NDB Page
• Nearest User Waypoints Page
• Nearest FSS Page
You may examine both the communication frequencies and runway information directly from the Near-
est Airport Page. As discussed earlier for the NAVCOM Page (see page 14), you may also place any displayed
frequency into the standby COM or VLOC fi eld by highlighting the frequency with the cursor and pressing
ENT.
