From page 10 you may recall that one of the main page groups, NRST, provides list-

ings for nearest airports or other facilities. The NRST group provides detailed information
on the nine nearest airports, VORs, NDBs, intersections and user-created waypoints
within 200 nautical miles of your current position. In addition, 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 (

r

2. Rotate the large right knob (

d

) 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 (

a

) to select the desired NRST page.

The nearest airport page (shown at left) is one of eight pages available under the NRST

group:

• Nearest intersection page

• Nearest NDB page

• Nearest VOR page

• Nearest user waypoints page

• Nearest ARTCC page

• Nearest FSS page

• Nearest airspace page

You may examine both the communication frequencies and runway information di-

rectly from the nearest 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
