Nearest Flight Service Station (FSS) Page
The nearest flight service station page displays the facility name, bearing to and
distance to the five nearest FSS points of communication (within 200 nautical miles of
your present position). For each FSS listed, the nearest flight service station page also
indicates the frequency(s) and may be used to quickly tune the COM transceiver to the
FSS’s frequency. The selected frequency is placed in the standby field of the COM win-
dow and activated using the
W
key.
For duplex operations, “RX” and “TX” indications will appear beside the listed fre-
quencies—indicating “receive only” or “transmit only” frequencies. The associated VOR
is also provided for reference
To quickly tune an FSS’s frequency from the nearest flight service station page:
1. Select the nearest flight service station page, using the steps outlined on page 119.
2. Press the small right knob ( r ) to activate the cursor.
3. Rotate the small right knob ( a ) to scroll through the list, selecting the desired FSS.
4. Rotate the large right knob ( d ) to scroll down the page, highlighting the desired frequency
(COM frequency[s] or VOR frequency for duplex operation).
