8.8 NEAREST FLIGHT SERVICE STATION
(FSS) PAGE
The Nearest Flight Service Station Page (Figure
8-19) displays the facility name, bearing to, and distance
to the five nearest FSS points of communication (within
200 nm of the present position). For each FSS listed, the
Nearest Flight Service Station Page also indicates one or
more frequencies and may be used to quickly tune the
COM transceiver to the FSS’s frequency.
For duplex operations, ‘RX’ and ‘TX’ indications
appears beside the listed frequencies, indicating ‘receive
only’ or ‘transmit only’ frequencies. The associated VOR
is also provided for reference.
