• Rotate the right inner knob counterclockwise to initially scan through a
complete list of all airport identifiers backward in alphabetical order.
There are actually two waypoint scan lists. These two lists are the “com-
plete” list and the “nearest” list. The complete list contains all of the air-
port waypoints in the database. The nearest list consists of the nine
nearest airports to your present position.
The nearest list is positioned in front of the complete list. That is, you
must scan backwards through the complete list to reach the nearest list.
This is easy to do because the faster the knob is turned, the larger the
step is made through the list. You will know when you have reached the
nearest list because the top right portion of the waypoint page will flash
the relative position of the waypoint to the present position (NR 1 indicates
the nearest). As you scan clockwise from NR 1, NR 2, NR 3, ..., NR 9 the
next scan position is the beginning of the complete list.
Waypoint pages displayed in the nearest list do not contain a latitude and
longitude position as they do in the complete list. Instead, the bearing and
distance to the waypoint are displayed. In addition, nearest airport pages
display the length, surface, and lighting of the longest runway. Once the
nearest airport is being displayed, the other airport pages (APT 2 - APT 8)
for that airport are available for display by making sure the right inner knob
is pressed in and then turning it to select the desired airport page.
The procedure above is for viewing the nearest airports but it is equally
applicable to VORs and NDBs except that either VOR or NDB waypoint
types are selected in the first step.
9.2 Nearest Airports In An Emergency
In the event of an emergency, perform the following step to quickly get to
the beginning of the nearest airport list:
• Press N.
The waypoint page for the nearest airport is now displayed on the right
side. The right inner knob may now be used in the normal manner to
scan the other nearest airports (knob in the “out” position) or to view all
eight airport pages for a specific airport (knob in the “in” position).
9.3 Continuous Display Of Nearest Airport
When the nearest airport page is initially displayed, “NR 1” is displayed in
the upper right hand corner of the page to designate this airport as the
nearest airport. However, if you continue to fly along your flight plan with
this page selected, the same airport will be displayed and its position in
the nearest airport list will change from NR 1 to NR 2, NR 3, NR 4 ... NR 9
until finally it won’t be in the nearest airport list at all. The reason for this
