The nearest airport page can be confi gured to exclude shorter runways or undesirable
runway surface types, so that the corresponding airports do not appear on the list. You
may wish to use this feature to exclude seaplane bases or runway lengths which would be
diffi cult or impossible to land upon. See page 160 for additional details.
