7.1 NRST PAGE GROUP
Section 2.1 introduced the 500 Series’ main page
groups (Table 7-1)—NAV, WPT, AUX, NRST—and de-
scribed each page in the NAV group. This fourth page
group (NRST) provides detailed information for the nine
nearest airports, VORs, NDBs, intersections, and user
waypoints within 200 nm of the current position. In
addition, the NRST pages (Figure 7-1) include the five
nearest Flight Service Station (FSS) and center (ARTCC/
FIR) points of communication, plus alerts the pilot to any
nearby Special Use (SUA) or Controlled Airspaces.
