AIRSPACE
The Nearest Airspace function and Airspace Alerts provide information about
airspaces and the location of the aircraft in relationship to them. The Nearest Airspace
function can be used to quickly find airspaces close to the flight path.
The Nearest Airspace function displays the class of airspace, controlling agency,
vertical boundaries, and status.
Selecting and viewing nearest airspaces:
1) From the 'Home' Screen, touch Nearest > Airspace.
2) Touch the desired airspace from the list. The airspace information is
displayed.
3) If desired, touch 'Frequencies' to view frequencies associated with that
airspace.

If airspace alarms are set to 'On' (default is 'Off'), the aera will display a message
which includes the airspace name, time to entry (if applicable), and status. Touch the
message to acknowledge it.
There are four types of status information:
• Ahead—Projected to enter the airspace within the next 10 minutes or less
• Near—Within two nautical miles of an airspace but not projected to enter it.
• Near & Ahead—Project to enter the airspace within two nautical miles.
• Inside Airspace—Within the boundaries of the airspace.
