The Nearest Airport Page can be configured to exclude
shorter runways or undesirable runway surface types, so
that the corresponding airports do not appear on the list.
The pilot may wish to use this feature to exclude seaplane
bases or runway lengths which would be difficult or
impossible to land upon. See Section 8.5, Setup 2 Page:
Nearest Airport Criteria for additional details.
